Great wine that was quite tight on opening. After an hour started to show it's beautiful side. This wine has plenty of time to go and I regret not having more in my cellar.
This was a fantastic bottle. Seamless . Intense dark fruit and spicebox on the nose. great mouthfeel beginning to end, smooth , silky , and big all at the same time. This showed better than the 95 Margaux side by side although after several hours, Margaux became very impressive.

What an amazing treat!! Bottle fill was very low almost to shoulder. Immediate nose had somewhat of a petrol quality but then old dark fruit and some spice. The bottle gained in quality over the next hour and almost began to taste like an old lafite. It was truly incredible given the age of this wine and what was anticipated. Clearly a surprise and a treat for a 46 year old California Cab!!!
