  Drank at our wine club tasting that Kim & I hosted 7/19/22 in Hickory NC at restaurant BOCA in a flight with 3 other '94 CA cabernet dominant wines. Do not recommend - even though technically not off in any way this is now way past prime, fruit almost gone, dry and quite acidic. Cork was suspect - crumbly but came out largely intact using tongs.

  Poured alongside the 1991, and clearly inferior to it. Still plenty of sweet black cabernet fruit on the attack, but the stuffing in the midpalate has aged away and it's drying out on the back end. On this showing, seems well past its prime.

  Nose of blackberry jam, black currents, and briar, opened slowly and after 30 minutes sported a great nose, same on the palate, big body, very tasty at 22 years of age, wine to sip and savor and remember a great California Cabernet Sauvignon vintage, long, long finish.

  Pre-1997 Cabs from Santa Cruz Mtns - Berserkers Offline (The Palace Steakhouse, SF): Medium ruby to a garnet rim.
  
  Slight development (bruised apple), slight pyrazine (extremely ripe stewed bell pepper). Blackcurrant and blackberry liqueur, pure and intense. Slight brett spice. Sweet cedar from new oak, sweet tobacco. Blackberry juice.
  Seductive nose - intensely perfumed and slightly spiced.
  
  Alive! Elevated acid, medium plus tannins - plush and grippy.
  Beautiful - around 9.

  Wineberserkers cabernet offline (The Palace, Mission, SF): Nice intensity nose, blackberry, mint; palate is full bodied, very high acid and fresh, black fruits, nice balance; medium finish. Very nice intensity on the nose and balance on the palate but could use just a bit more complexity of flavors. 89-90
