16 years down and there is little change in the appearance; maybe the cherry red has darkened some, but only a little. The nose and palate have evolved to something for which I have no reference. It's floral in nature but not identifiable. It gives up no minerality that I can discern. Pleasant, short/moderate finish. I don't catch any Caparone characteristics, they've all evolved.

This bottle was definitely on the downslope. Starting to get that stewed prune taste. None the less I enjoyed this bottle with lamb chops, the wife however would give it a 60.

Solid body and nose to accompany a good cut of beef. Still singing with food.

Interesting and powerful Cab. Was a bit rough around the edges though or I would have scored it higher.
