Again - end of the night wine drunk next to the 90 and the 86. It's a good old Napa cab. I really like this style and continue to like it. More of the Bordeaux influence but with the Napa fruit. This fruit as I understand came a lot more from valley floor (today it's a blend of mountain). Enjoyable, none were quite in the same league as some others we were drinking (like 86 Margaux).

Color showed a nice bricking. Nice fragrant nose. Good mouthfeel and still some niticable tannnis. Too bad the fruit didn't make it this long. After about an hour in the decanter the tannis smoothed and there was a little more fruit. Not a bad wine but certainly not as long lived as the initial predictions..

Corked or way past its drinking window. Bummer
Since it’s a birth year wine
