Bought in 1996 and cellared at 57 degrees ever since. Nice mature cali cab. Slight bricking at edges, translucent, light to medium bodied for a cab. Some earth, soil to be exact, raisin, dried fruit, figs and dark cherries on nose. Really a wonderful spice box nose. Very full, spicy, medium length, mouth coating melange of flavors on palate. Nice weight for a warmish socal night on patio with tri tip and roasted root veg. Have one more and doesn't seem like I need to be in a hurry to pop the next one. Can't get over the nose on this beaut!

Aromas of dark fruit and dried fruits jump from the glass. Medium to full bodied with a very smooth and lasting finish. Still enjoyable with 8 years of bottle age.
