Holding up well with good red fruit (almost sweet) with the structure and acidity to nicely balance it. Took about 30 minutes to open up, without decanting.

Every bit as delicious as the last bottle a year ago. Deep garnet color. Some moss and mushroom on the nose as well as a surprising amount of fruit. More fruit than the last bottle. On the palate, dark fruit, blackberry, cassis, caramel and mocha. A fabulous, aged, old style California Cabernet.

Amazing after 29 years. Still intact.

A bright nose of red and dark fruits. Tastes younger than the 1994. The palate has plum, creme de casis, forest floor and a muted herbal note.

Surprisingly, still decent fruit and acidity to balance it. Tannins still present but very soft. Likely better a few years ago but not bad.
