On its last leg as far as fruit goes, giving way to savory, soy sauce and earth notes. It did however have a surprising amount of vigor left with good acidity remaining and a remarkable freshness of fruit. It went lovely with lamb, wilted greens and mushrooms. If you're hanging on to anything from Napa from the earl to mid 80s on valley floor, drink them.

nose - blood mouth - very muted but with time the red fruit started showing up. Surprisingly it kept getting better. However, pretty clear that it is well past prime.
