Decanted on opening, a bit hot and thin at first, but nicely developed after an hour. Cedar in the nose, bouquet and flavor smooth, integrated. My last bottle sadly. Not to keep, but nice bottle with a steak.

Nice old cab, better than my previous bottle perhaps since the cork was in better shape. Gentle, tannin smoothed out to round finish. Pleasant but mild cab bouquet.

Mellowed to the point where fruit no longer tastes like cab! Tannin aged out, still some acid. Lovely old wine but don't keep it. Cork was pretty soft and close to failure.
