Robert Mondavi Winery
Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Hints of Maple Syrup in the nose.
This is still very fresh. Ripe, juicy; blackberries, black raspberries, black plum, dark cherries, black plum pudding, strawberries, notes of blue fruits, dark spice, black licorice, mid berry cola, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanillin, anise, cedar to sandalwood, dry herbs, mint/eucalyptus, used leather, dry, crushed, rock powder, notes of maple syrup, caramel, dark, red withering rose petals with violets, waterfall acidity and an elegant, balanced, softly tensioned, well knitted, smartly polished finish that lasts minutes.
Color is still dark. Cork came out whole with a Durand but was completely soaked.
What a treat to drink well stored old Napa Cabernet. Will hold another 3-5 years.
Bottle semi-recently acquired from the property via a Somm buddy.
