October 8, 2014 - 1984 Napa Cabs/Blends (Mpls, MN): Very dark red color with 1mm clear meniscus. PNP, decanted and drank 1 glass over 2.5hrs. Wow, this was spectacular, one of the best wines of the year so far. Killer nose that just blows up out of the glass, perfumed, cedar, deeply earthy, very floral, lots of saddle leather, pretty dark dark berry fruits, cassis. As great as the nose is, the palate just plain rocks, extremely elegant, finessed, but intense and lively, wow, gorgeous wine, leather, sandalwood, perfectly integrated with the silkiest tannins. But the most staggering thing is the intensity and length of the finish - easily 2-3 minutes; long, long, long. Wow. This was steady and even improving for the entire 2.5hrs. What a great bottle. Unanimous WOTN. 97+ to 98pts.
