With Kathy at home at dinner (pizza). Very healthy looking medium dark Ruby. Definitely one of the better noses I have smelled from a 1982 Cabernet. Very attractive and complex bouquet of chocolate, cherries and mint/eucalyptus. Elegant. On the palate, smooth and elegant on entry, with flavors of chocolate and coffee. A bit rough in the finish and very dry; beginning to dry out?. Excellent wine, probably at its peak right now. Only the mouth drying tannins in the finish prevented a higher score. 5-12-15-7: 89/100.
