Casis and young black berries and strawberry blew out of the glass! Then tobacco and grilled green bell pepper took over as primary note but only subdued the fruit marginally.
Could have fooled anyone to think late eighties/mid nineties Bordeaux
This was incredible satisfying and nowhere near close to its last strides.
Drink now or hold for another decade easily!

Second and final bottle Didn't really think these would have held up as well as they did. Color was sort of brick-ish. Spice and tobacco on the nose. Initially, serious tobacco taste that faded some over minutes after opening. Pretty great for a 33 year old napa cab.

Saved this bottle for a birthday for a 1980 born. We weren't sure if it would still be good, but it surprised and was really wonderful.
