surprisingly bright ruby red color. air time cleaned up the nose, notes of spices and sweet plums. tart cherry and plum on the palate. really good shape for a wine of this age.

From magnum, no notes made. Surprisingly dark for its age and lovely leather and cigar box aromatics softened by the vanilla oakiness; very much alive and well, showing good length and fruit. Light eucalyptus/mint undertones add complexity to the forest fruits. Wow!

Tertiary notes are there but there is still fruit on the nose and palate. Remarkable old school Napa cab.

Ifune in NYC (Frankie & Johnnie's Steakhouse, NYC): A beautiful wine, showing lots of old-world elegance. Currants, licorice, earth and cedar. Drinking great, but the finish was slightly clipped.
