High shoulder fill. Cork completely saturated but came out in one piece.
Color: ruby garnet Nose: Initially leather and earth. With air opens up with mint, herbs, cinnamon spice, red and black berries still with hints of dirt in the background. Not bad... Palate: Tannins and acid still dominate. Flavors echo the nose but overall impression is disjointed. This wine is never going to become an integrated and harmonious drink.

MAGNUM- decanted 2 hrs---dark ruby red; nose closed, mild cherry cola, cedar note; tart cherry, pomagranate flavors , good grip, surprisingly young tannins; med finish. wine seems stuck in limbo not showing the mellow effect of age but also not decaying....

1982 California Cabernet Sauvignon (Hi-Time Wine Cellars, Costa Mesa, Ca.): Nice, pleasant, briary fruit on the nose and palate and finish.
