  A well cared for bottle still has years to go.

  I have always been a big fan of California wines from 1985-1995. This vintage fits nearly right in the middle and did not disappoint. There was plenty of fruit left in this bottle with well integrated tannin (its 26!). It is definitely a drink now bottle at this point.

  Balanced and still has fruit. Hint of brown on meniscus. Slight bitter finish. Lovely Cali style (French) oak on the nose. Not a big wine but it's survived 26 years and while not over the top yet I would drink up.

  At Clos du Val, wonderful day thanks to Alex and Bill, the last pour was also the oldest Cabernet Sauvignon of the day, nose of cigar box, allspice, dry forest floor, and plum, more of the same on the palate, rich, tasty, touch of acid, medium body, drink and enjoy this 23 year old wine, medium finish that was tasty, subdued, and savory.

  Hanging on. Well balanced, still good color, brown sugar and baking spices. Goes well with Mediterranean chicken, but the wine hasn't gained significant complexity and largely is just fading away. I still like it and will enjoy the other two bottles, but we'll drink them in the next year. Finish is short, but pleasant.
