1996 Souverain Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valleymore |
6/24/2008 - nwinograd wrote: 93 pointsI forgot about this gem. Found it tonight in the cellar and figured it was a goner. I remember that 96 vintage - really rough. Somehow, this bottle has totally smoothed out. All the rough edges were gone and it was a really smooth, classic cali cab. I am really sorry it was my last bottle. |
