From a Magnum: This wine was good and solid but nothing spectacular or particularly memorable. It displayed secondary and tertiary notes and bordered on being over the hill. Maybe at that time Monday was already on the road to oblivion....

Did not expect much being 25 yrs old and supposedly 14 yrs past its drinking window. However, was very dry, exhibited berry flavors, and retained some tannin. Despite being stored in 3 different places drank well but did not expect much the next day so completed the bottle so as not to find out. Bottle was purchased 23 yrs ago for 16.59 per the price tag.

Still dark colour. Sweet cassis, red fruit & pickle juice. Soft tannins.

Seemed a little bit off. Still a very good California Cab....
