  Slow ox 45 minutes. Fairly dark. Youthful sweet cassis and French oak aromas. Warm, rich, slightly ripe fruit yet balancing tannins and acid. Long, sweet finish. Most experienced blind tasters thought this was a 20 yr old left bank BDX! Still has a few miles on it before the warranty expires :)

  2 hour Slow ox: A bit old and tired - damp earth, old tobacco, plum. Drank half the 2nd night and it was 2 pts better with blackberry and plum framed by leather, cedar, earth, sweet tannin. Best to decant for 5-6 hours, maybe more. Definitely one that held up nicely. At the right price I'd buy another if I knew the provenance and didn't have so much other wine!

  Deep dark red center, red rim with some signs of age.
  Sweet cherries, balsam, cedar, blackcurrants, stones from a bonfire, some lighter strawberry notes, toasted leaves, great intensity.
  Smooth, cassis, plums, creamy, black raspberries, kirsch, powerful and subtle at the same time, complex - black olives, rosemary, black pepper, bell pepper, piperazine, amazing length of ripe fruit.
  Fantastic Spring Mountain Cabernet, drinking very well now.

  Excellent bottle of wine. This bottle was an absolute brute in its youth, massively tannic and extracted, but always classy and balanced. This has gotten friendlier, but still seems young for a 10+ year old napa, but it is pedigreed. This wine exudes class with a silky feel and fantastic earthy minerally leathery notes to balance out the understated fruit. A great example of balanced spring mountain cab. This may have another decade in it if stored well. 92-93.
