Popped and poured w/o decanting.

Deep purple to ruby coloring, leggy, w/a slight amount of opaqueness due to some fine sediment. Lots of berry notes on the nose, w/dusty oak and a faint touch of mint. Deep dark fruits - currant, black cherry, blackberries, w/a touch of cedar, mineral, and sweet tannin. Everything is integrated extremely well - fruit/tannin/acid - providing a full-bodied mouthfeel and a long, rich finish of about 15-20 seconds. Performing very well and should continue to hold for another 2-3 yrs. at least. A solid 92-93 pts., and a great showing for a 15 yr. old Cali cab.

Good to hear
I drank my case about 5 years ago for the last bottle because they were getting very prunny and my were directly from the winery and no heat issues.

Kybo,

Did you pick this up recently or have you had it in your collection for a few years? Sounds like an excellent red.

IW;
I've been working on collecting a vertical of these for a couple of years, which included a '94, two '95s, two '96s, and a '97. I've had a '95 a little while back that was very good but not nearly as good as the '94.

I've also had the '92, which I unfortunately drank about 10 yrs. too soon!
