Still a Great Wine

WCC 1997 California Cabernet Blind Tasting (Fort Orange Club, Albany, NY): Slightly more mature. Spicy red fruit. Smooth and elegant. Quite ready. [Only afterwards did we discover this was a 1998 and not a 1997. An impressive show for what is generally considered a weak vintage.]
Really worried when I opened it because the cork was a crumbly mess, but the wine was still good. Strong tanins with a good finish. Nose was a bit lacking.
(see all 14 vintages)
