  This once beautiful cabernet has lost its past glory and is now quite faded. Perfect storage conditions and a clean cork provided great hope for its viability but the wine demonstrated a high degree of raisin character typical of a wine past its prime.

  Second Sunday Group: 1999 Napa cabernets (Our house): Blind. Opens with a baked red currant note but there's also a bit of oxidation here. Plummy red fruit on the palate. A hint of bouillon as it gets more air. Not completely devoid of fruit or charm, but this bottle clearly did not hold up as well as others.

  Deep purple color with a bouquet and flavor of black currents with a bit of
  eucalyptus. Good balance but lacking the nuance and depth to be a first-rate wine. Even so, very pleasant and easy to drink, with a medium finish. Drink up now.
