From Magnum. Bought from Spectrum Wine Auction for $412 with premium. Still had grocery price sticker on it for $145!! Nose was fecal early on but blew off, very similar to a well aged bordeaux. Acid was in the forefront initially and I thought crappola. Came together after about 45 minutes and was wonderful. More tertiary flavors with tannins resolved. Not a powerhouse, but not anywhere near dead. Kinda like a smokin hot woman at 25 that returned to the party 37 years later and everyone was like "Damn still built like a rocketship." I know back in the early 80's the vineyards of the power cab boys werent exceptionally clean compared to todays standards but this is an example that Randy Dunn knows his shit and proof is in the bottle.
