Light garnet, very acidic, almost completely bell pepper and light red berries. Might be off bottle, enjoyable with French onion soup on Christmas Day, but dont see this holding up much longer. Enjoy now.

Showing very well and much younger than expected, currant with a dash of bell pepper and a dollop of leather, there is still quite a bit going on here and plenty of life left.

Tasting of 45 to 50 year old Cabernet Sauvignon today. (Yans's China Bistro): Cork in one piece and completely saturated upon opening, nose of black cherry, black currants, very floral, and a promise of rich fruit, same on the palate, big body, almost massive body, when compared to the other two Cabernet Sauvignons today, it really delivered mouth filling and rich fruit, elegant, classy, kept getting better and better during lunch, old style flavors, we all agreed this was The Wine of the Tasting, had a long, long, flavorful finish and aftertaste, more sediment on the bottle sides and the bottom of the bottle than the other two wines. The four of us agreed on the order of the three wines but tasting notes and scores are entirely my own.

Remarkably little aged character for this 49 year old Cabernet Sauvignon. Pencil shaving, fresh fruit aromas. Must have been bottled in a fairly reduced state to show like this. Very well made and appears to have plenty of life ahead of it still.
