Decanted with modest sediment. Good vibrant color. Slight bricking. Tannins have yielded to crisp acidity (a good thing for my lights). Fading but still present black fruit. Light finish. Certainly past its prime, but very drinkable.

Ok if you want to try an old wine. However, our bottle was past its peak. You can definitely tell it is a cab. Try 89 from Napa Valley for an oldie that still has a bit of acid ect.

Over peak. Lots of plum. Fruit notes are gone. Slightly smokey, meaty, not much of anything else left. Very low alcohol, almost no tannin, very low acidity.

After a 3+ hour decant, this wine surprised us all. Smooth tannin, nice acidity and a surprising amount of dark berries coming thru on the pallet. Elegant and complex, it has stood the test of time.
