Drank after my Dad's passing in his honor. My Dad bought this bottle just as he and I were getting into wine. One of the first wines he loved and he always bought the Wolf Bottle thereafter. This was continuously stored at 55-60 deg F. Decanted clear and poured flaky sediment away. This wine was still big and fruity after 29 years. It had mature, melded cab nose and flavors and was very good for about 60 minutes. Then it faded away. It was enjoyable just long enough for me to reminisce.

1985 Tasting of 15 Cabernet Sauvignons (Walnut Creek, Ca.): Touch of cardboard, very nice, smooth, velvety taste, touch of mint on nose and palate, good acid, nice fruit, hint of sweatsox-ouch. Tied for 14th.
