Excellant bottle of Cab at its drinking peak right now. It was a crowd pleaser, not over the top, just mouth watering good. Glad I bought so many so long ago. But my next and last bottle will be used soon because the acid is just about gone.

Brownish red, still young, a very nice wine, big on the mouth, good fruit but still tanic. It has a touch of pepper, and definetly heated. For under 10 dollars, not bad. I think I will open my next bottle in a couple of years.

I opened and it had an antisceptic nose. On the tongue, it lacked any fruit flavours. The color was still dark so aging does not seem to be the answer. I suspect the bottle was off.
