  Hedges Cab Sayv/Merlot blend 13% no date (probably library release '98)
  Food: With 1 yr Gouda
  Look: Dark brick red to slight yellow edge; looks like an '89 posing as an excellent '95.
  [After the taste, I am told that with UPC 80226 98775 it means probably a '98]
  Cork: Fine
  Bottle: Very little to no sediment
  Nose: Initially dark molasses and a plum reduction; gunflint; great deep plum cobbler
  Body: .8% to 1% milk
  Taste: Earthy, almost like an older Chianti taste of light spiced cedar
  Finish: 20-25 seconds
  Summary: Light, old earthy, still fruit on the front end of tasting but fades quickly. Classic older WA Hedges taste.
  Rating: 86 pts C+/C
