When California wine was getting fine: Louis M Martini Cabernet Special Selection 1966 shared by a gentleman who purchased it 50 years ago for just $2.50 a bottle. Started a bit musty but that blew off in a few minutes. Medium-bottled, with sweet black fruit, tobacco, and a gorgeous, intriguing nose of mint. Silky tannins on the long finish. A half-century California Cab that still has it. History and hedonism from the same bottle.
