Well at least it didn't go bad after all these years, but utterly unremarkable.

Nose of cardboard with a grape jam spill on it.

Tasted of plum.

Smooth and uncomplicated Zin with boysenberry taste.
Deep red color.
Went great with classic steak dinner (Bearnaise sauce) w sides of blue cheese dressed iceberg wedge salad and mixed buttery mushrooms. Good on the cellaring.
13.5 % alcohol only.

Top half of Cork was dry enough to crumble hopelessly on opening, but the seal was true. Decanted via a sieve but still plenty of cork bits to contend with. Color almost inky after waiting a few minutes but taste was utterly silky smooth. Seemed very alcoholic in its effects, bTW. But taste of the wine was jammy and plum/grape. Another validator of wide opinion that 99 was a superb vintage for N California Cabernets.
