August 17, 2019 - First off this wine came with unknown provenance and was acquired from a sale where it was not cellared. A complete surprise as the color was deep and dark cherry with barely a hint of browning. Had a nice aroma and taste of dark blackberry and cherry upon opening. Although a bit muted at first it opened up nicely to make a very enjoyable wine experience. A testament to the fact that older Cali wines can survive almost 30yrs even under tough storage conditions. If properly cellared would still probably drink soon while it's still showing some life.
