  Magnum. The positive on this wine is at 28 years it is "not bad or funky". The negative is the wine have no aromas, no flavor and finishes with smooth tannins. Where did the fruit go? This is a good Napa vineyard site.
  
  This wine needs the imagination of wine critic to make up aromas and favors.
  
  A side note, I heard a computer program is now starting to generate critics notes. It is doing well against critics as we know critic assessments are random. I sense they have load the words critics use. Wish I was young enough to do this. Who is fake news - critic or the program?

  1990 Tasting of 7 Cabernet Sauvignons, nice fruity and flowery nose with lots of old wood, simple, one dimensional, sweet fruit, out of balance, medium/big body, too much raisin on the mid palate and finish. My #7 and Group #7.
