A slightly medicinal note at the front. Good savory fruit. Mint and bloody iron plum. Lucid and distinctive.

surprisingly dark color for a 30 year old wine. Red fruit and cassis with tobacco and leather notes. Drinking amazing right now with many years ahead. What Cali cab can be... At least made a generation ago. Wow!

This is the 1985 Napa Cab and was tasted out of 5 liter. This wine was excellent! Herbal notes with a touch of saddle. I was so surprised by how much red fruit was on the pallet with a wine this old! Amazing!
