Fantastic aged CA Cabernet...gorgeous ruby red color, no bricking whatsoever...expressive nose of tobacco, cedar and mint, vibrant in the mouth, red fruits, spices, long, balanced...easily has another decade

Exceptional. Superb. Once in a lifetime. 1992 With 23 years of cellaring. Lingers on the pallette for 30 seconds after tasting leaving you with a hankering for more.

Still has good fruit. Currant with hints of cedar. Still dark color, showing brick red at edge. Long legs and still very tannic.
