  Good, clean cork with about 1cm of even stain at the bottom. The bottle had a moderate amount of fine sediment at the bottom, but with careful decanting only the last glass was affected. This 1992 was less ready to go than a lovely 1997 opened recently. Definitely developing with a bright ruby color, but still a bit bound up in its tannins. I will hold my other bottle for another 3-5 years.

  Last sip on the second night probably the best. Lovely crystal cassis purity. Dusty cool dark berries. THIS is Cab.

  Slow-O for 2 hours, served non-blind to friends. The guesses were new world, with old world sensibilities, but no one was even close to the vintage. I mean, how could they be, this is still so very young. Sensuous aromas a cassis, eucalyptus, soil/place, some red/purple flowers, red currant, etc. Full-bodied, sweet, plump and nicely ripe tannins, and plenty of fresh acidity. This is likely to drink at a high level for another 15+ years. 13,7% abv. highly recommended
  
  
  spongy-soft, like-new cork

  Can't add much to my note from last year. Carrying along just fine. Not the best vintage for this wine but it still slays tons of stuff much more expensive and younger. Cooler compared to a redder Napa expression.

  Still dense. Lots of cassis still here. Rich bodied. Classic expression. Cooler versus the warmer Napa shade. Maybe a touch soft and less complex than you might hope for. But it's so powerful and alive you hardly care. And it could certainly pick up some complexity with further aging. It's no where close to being done.
