I concur with fellow wine drinkers before me, was surprised t was as good as it was given it's California nature and age. Not likely many or any of these still laying around, if so drink up. No decant, pop and poured. Still good fruit and balance no earthy smell of age.

Plummy slightly stewed fruit but solid, flavorful and in its prime despite 20 years in my cellar and being a half bottle. Amazing, I expected much less. Previous half bottles were as solid with a more berry than plum tone. Slight sediment but almost opaque in a mature brick red color. No browning on the edges. Tannin is largely resolved but there is still sufficient acid to help it linger on the palate.

This was a bit late to drink this wine. It still carried its full body with some some fruit flavors. It however was starting to turn. I sure wish I had drunk it 10 years ago.
