  Definitely past its prime, but still very drinkable.

  BYO USA (Centropa, Oslo, Norway): Mørk, tett farge, dyp mørk kjerne med svak brunlig kant. Erketypisk bordeaux-preget med duft av blyantspiss, cedertre og solbær, men mindre sødmefull enn de yngre cabernetene i flighten. Utviklet på smak, godt grep med modent bærpreg, god dybde og konsentrasjon. Det er godt med garvestoff og vinen tar godt tak i munnhulen. Topp Napa-cabernet som fortsatt virker ungdommelig og med mange gode år igjen.

  Delicate but still good verve. Earthy and dark rust color. Classic aged cab

  Very good classic Cali cab. Mature fruit and a fair amount of nuance and depth in the more mid-weight style that California use to do more often. It may be starting to dry out, so I wouldn't wait too much longer to drink.

  Drank the last of this vintage and in my opinion it is at or just past its peak. Last prior bottle consumed was about two years ago and while I cannot compare taste to then it is getting a little thin. Drink up 26 years is a pretty good run
