Default 1991 Clos Du Val Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Opened last night with dinnner a bottle of 1991 Clos Du Val Napa
Valley Cabernet. Ecellent cork with a fair amount of tartrate
crystals. The wine was still a deep reddish purple with a slight
brickish cast. Nose of plums and cedar. Very smooth on the palate,
medium bodied with bright red fruits, plums, current, a bit of peach,
leather and cedar. Fully mature with resolved tannins and a firm
acidity. The wine seems to be holding nicely and will be ok for at
least another few years. "B+"
