Very good. Classic Napa cab. On the nose: Oak, dark fruit, and a bit of blueberry. Masculine, strait forward. Well balanced. “Hot fruit compote” my wife says. It may lack complexity but super solid. Finish could linger more.

30 years old at a good price and delicious. Still great structure. Well integrated fruit and earth, with earth forward. Tastes Italian.

2004 La Spinetta (Rivetti) Barolo Vürsù Vigneto Campè

Still pretty taught even 16 years in. Italians like to go the distance. Super dry, tannic. But in a good way.
