  Alive sand kicking at 33 years old!
  Hints of brick underlying medium purple color.
  Abundant fruit for a 1988.
  Good structure and acidity (still).

  mature brick red, aged cassis, soft spice notes, on the palate a delicate and slightly sweet Cabernet at full maturity with genteel cassis notes and just a bit of beetroot, I have always found 1988 to be an attractive and understated vintage in California- but not one with the potential for a terribly long life, with that perspective this was a pleasant surprise- its superb balance still carries it well and while I would advise drinking soon there is still some old school beauty here, best enjoyed with a savory meal at this point- on its own where it can contribute to a harmonious and relaxed setting.
  
  ***, drink up
