Light cellar nose with 4/10 tannins. More in the French style of cabernet than Napa -- that may be the years of aging. Minimal fruit on the palate and the oak tannins come through.
Vanilla and oak on the nose. Nicely balanced with body - has stood up well for a 21 year old! Tannins 6/10. Probably the most integrated and balanced of the 1992 wines tonight.
Definitely still very young and will develop nicely over another few years. Oak and tobacco nose and on the palate. Tannins 7/10. I need to find a few more bottles of these.

Nice drinking wine straight from the bottle. A hint of brown edges and the fruitiness has subsided substantially. Fruit is light and balanced.
