  This 30 year old cab is an elegant, well balanced beauty. It is not quite an old world style, nor a typical California cab classic ... but the best of both. Dark red color, wonderful nose and a very well rounded palate. Drinking really well at 30 ... I loved this wine. I wish I had more.

  Much different than 1st bottle, interesting variation not sure how to process, good not great with high balsamic notes and earthy dominant.

  Very deep, rich and interesting nose. Fallen leaves, dried dark fruits, little bit of funk. Also a hint of minty eucalyptus. Gorgeous acidity and lovely mouthfeel. Dried red cherries with deep compote, aged leather, wet clay, earth, drying leaves. Still plenty of tension and tannin here as well. This is a lovely wine it has density complexity, richness, and light on its feet. I am probably 94 on this.

  With Beef Loin Tritip…..
  Herbaceous upon open. Good crimson color.
  Cassis, boysenberry, caramel and nuts. Slight sweetness and tobacco. Dusty tannins and a bit of semi sweet chocolate. Really strong showing. Showing very old worldly.90 minutes in it turns darker so I would drink in the next few years.
