Monday, May 11, 2009 - '80s and '90s California Cab Tasting w/ Bob Macdonald (Our House): Big, burly, and very oaky immediately upon opening, this settled down considerably with air. Super-ripe, sweet black fruit, coffee creme, and a faint whiff of VA. Large-scaled and still quite tannic. As with the '97 Montelena (see TN), this bottle didn't live up to this wine's stratospheric reputation.
