Given the age and the $13 release price, this was exceptional. There was worcestershire on the nose, but the color had only started bricking and was a deep garnet, so plenty of promise. This wine delivered. Lots of pretty fruit, earth balanced and just right amount of savory meat juices. Took us 2 hours to get through the bottle (must show reverence to 35 year old Cali Cabs!) and it never even approached the cliff.
