  Tackled the 1999 Freemark Abbey Reserve, swayed by a drinking window suggesting it was well past its prime. To my surprise, I was met with a symphony of flavors, including an intriguing, subtle hint of green pepper that caught me off guard. This experience was a humble reminder of the unpredictability of wine, challenging my preconceptions and proving it still packed a delightful punch."

  Wonderful aged cab that is balanced and seamless. Has some leather, vanilla and mushroom notes but the purple fruit is the star. Not a lot of tannins left, so I'd drink up any in storage.

  Still has plenty of life with nicely relaxed tannins, bright acidity and mouthfuls of ripe red and black fruits. Starting to show a bit of a dusty, cocoa and tertiary edge, but the fruit still drives this wine. Very nice.

  Medium garnet with just a slight bit of orange at the rim which is to be expected at this age. Still plenty of bright red raspberry and strawberry with a hint of cola on the finish. Beginning to show a bit of diminution but still very good. Drink up.
