've had other 78 cabs, including this one, but none in this pristine condition (the screw squeaked repeatedly as it went into the cork). The color is ruby, with virtually no browning. The nose reveals rasberry, chocolate, coffee, and a hint of cinnamin. The flavor profile is full of fruit, with well-resolved tannins, glycerin, red fruit. Wow! With air, the flavors fade to peaches, straw, and vanilla. Unbelievable! Clearly superior to the other bottle I had.

This bottle is still drinking well. I don't know how much longer I would hold onto this, I plan to drink up most of what I still have.

Wonderful notes of apricots and marmalade. This was wonderful with Cornish game hens and asparagus.
