Explosive wine. Definite benefit from a solid 1 hour decant. Different mold than what today's "typical" cab. Huge nose of graphite, cedar, dark berry, and tobacco. Gained more fruit as time passed, but never being even close to being dominated by fruit. Deeply complex wine that I probably could not have truly appreciated.
