Exceptional tasting. Decanted for 1 hour, the wine presented a bright ruby red coloring with delicate aromas. Full bodied, sustained rich fruit flavors, followed by long silky finish made this 1988 Cab a delight to drink.

This wine was easily mistaken for good Bordeaux. The nose showed integrated fruit with marmalade and that classic meatiness you usually only find in good old world wines. Everyone around the table guessed this wine was 10 years younger than it was, such is its staying power. A real treat. Drink now through 2020.
