This was a nice old school Cali Cab. Brought by another attendee at SKurtz’s place. Rich and balanced and not overdone in any respect. Quite tasty and better the more air it got. Didn’t take detailed noted unfortunately.

Popped and poured held up also nicely second day. Aromas of wood and spices. Taste of dark fruit, spices and more acidic than i expected. Tannins mostly resolved but sure it could go several more years. Second day was better.

Beautiful complex aromas: spices (cardamon, sandal wood, etc.), truffles, plumb. Likewise complex and enjoyable on the palate with black fruits, prune, a hint of dark chocolate, and characteristic licorice and fresh acidity. Mature, but can probably age for many more years

This might be the last 1993 Cab in my cellar. Still dark with an impressive nose loaded with sweet black currants, toasty oak, blackberries and spice. Medium-full bodied, minty and round, this is voluptuous and just rolls languidly over the palate. Still sweet and dense, with fresh acidity this is just fantastic! Drink now-2022. 93
