  Had a lot left for nearly 25 years in the bottle

  Fully mature California Cabernet. Good, but not great. Maybe it would have better younger. The wine has wonderful aromas of violates and black fruit. It tastes of cassis, blackberries, black cherries, graphite, and mocha. Medium to full bodied and rich. This cab has all the right pieces, but it’s not in harmony. It’s lacking in complexity, cohesiveness, and balance. I enjoyed this bottle less than my prior one, only a few months ago. I recommend to drink up now.

  Fully mature California Cab; at peak or just over. Nice dark violet to ruby red color with no signs of its age.
  Very fruity with aromas and tastes of blackberries, cassis, and black cherry. Tertiary tastes of pencil shavings noted. Medium bodied with a nice mouthfeel. Fair acidity. Drink now; it’s not getting any better.

  PNP out of the cellar. Cork fully intact, probably didn’t need the ah-so. Some sediment on the cork and infiltrated about 1/4”.
  
  Bright but opaque magenta with maybe a slight amount of bricking. Sour cherry, a bit of plum, chocolate, cedar and cola on the nose all come through to the palate. Tannins are smooth and balanced with the acidity. Drinking so very well. Wish I had another! :-(
  
  Don’t think it will change much. Smoke ‘‘em if you got ‘em.
