1998 vintage. Brick color and quite a lot of gradation as you move from the core to the meniscus. The nose is raisinated and shows lots of dried, decaying red fruits, plums, blackberries and wet forest floor. Surely an interesting nose that the palate can't really back up. While the body is full the finish and acidity is thin. I actually did like the though and would love to try more vintages of this.

This 1998 Napa wine’s bouquet is complex and savory with hints of cherry, plum and leather. The palate is silky with tannins and fruit and hint of cocoa. All this greatness yet the finish was mellow. Maybe too long in the bottle but a winner nevertheless.

After being decanted for an hour the palate tastes of rich fruit and dense oak with underlying freshness and longevity. The tannins are perfectly balanced to make this 25 year old Cabernet a winner!
