Wineflock - California Cabernet from the 1970s (Rich's): Group #8, My #3 - Full deep purple with slight lightening - one of the youngest looking wines in the bunch. Medium full tight (?!?) black fruit on the nose with some briar notes. Decent black fruit on the palate with some spice and coffee notes. Longish finish. Built to last.

Flock - 70s Cal Cab Tasting (My Place): Ruby. Medium nose shows complexity with currants, earth, spice and cedar. Palate has tomato, currants, herbs and a smoky charcoal note. Still has freshness, lift and medium body across the mid palate. Nice medium-long finish. Showing quite well, with verve and character. A nice 38 year old. My #5, Groups #8.

What a great wine, with srtong structure after 38 years. Leather, currant, smoke and graphite, with a suprisingly good stone fruit base.

Still outstanding after 36 years. Inglenook made the best cab's in CA history. Alcohol levels down around 12%, make this very food freindly.
