Decanted an hour ahead, no nose but very nice color. Initial taste promising, deep and long. Fully open after 90 minutes, great fun to drink... we are no good at identifying flavor components but we got anise in this one. Medium long finish, surprisingly good after 23 years, especially from Alexander Valley not known for classics.

At the Grey Bear Summer BBQ we opened a magnum of Chateau Cantemerle, a bottle of Mondavi 07 Napa Cab and Stonestreet 1994 Cab. The French wine was drinking perfectly - soft, light fruit and mineral flavors. The Mondavi was more fruit forward and robust in flavors, the wine was less soft but very good. The Stonestreet had held up well, good color and weight, slight fruit flavors and aan easy finish - very enjoyable!

Served at my parents house for dinner. Drinking really well, the color and body were in good shape. Nice light fruit and chocolate flavors. Fantastic value!

Rich plush wine that was very layered. Need over 2 hours to decant to reach it's full potential. Really showing nicely now.
