Just picked up 4 of these at an auction. It’s really good. I lean toward Bordeaux so at this stage of life this cab was fantastic. Perfectly integrated tannins and fruit.

Nose is barnyard cherry, oiled leather. Initially a bit tight and slightly bitter, but opens up into a dark cherry cocktail with a bit of acidity. Clearly past its prime but still quaffable.

Extremely mellow for a B&H, but not to the point that is was void of fruit. These days I rather prefer this label in this final stage, vs the bombastic candied fruit bruisers most tend to be early on. This one still carried a smidge of high alc palate in the end, which kept it from being one of the best bottles I've had here. Still - good stuff, but I wouldn't hold past another year or two.

Ripe fruit but not over the top. Blueberries.
