My last review of this vintage was a little so so. There must be some variability between bottles because this bottle was amazing. After 21 years, still so vibrant. Deep colour, berry flavours, so delicious. I got this bottle for $26 in an online auction. So worth it. Will definitely look for more.

Still drinkable after 21 years. Good ruby colour but with a tinge of brickishness. The berry flavours have almost, but not quite, given way to dried fruits. Still pleasant but very much showing tertiary cab sav characteristics. Drink up!

September '07 - Mini House Cleaning; 9/13/2007-9/17/2007: One of the better btls opened during this evening's mini-housecleaning. A perfumed nose of dark red fruit with lingering notes of wood. On the palate, medium-bodied fruit with decent structure in the form of acidity, over a backdrop of a menthol finish. Quite enjoyable for the price ($15).

Decanted off sediment, but didn’t give it time in air; improved hour and a half; warm, minty, dry; mouth-feel got plusher with time; one to find and buy again.
