Always stored at 55 degrees since purchase at the winery this was a terrific absolutely typical well aged Napa cab. Not as round and subtle as a few from this era but overall excellent. I continue to be amazed at how well cabs from the late 70’s and beyond are still if not at peak still drinking exceptionally well with more fruit and balance than comparable Bordeaux.

Opened with beef dinner. No decanting. Nice youthful color, nose was a bit closed at first. nice soft tannins. Wine didn't show fully for 1 hour ... Nice fruit and decent finish.
