I am not a big fan of Cab but willing to make an exception for the right
wine, this was the right wine. A little closed on opening but by dinner 2
hours later showing very nice with a bit of tannin and menthol on the very
long finish. We had with filet and couldn't think of a better way to
celebrate 59 years.

Got me there! Just don't like those fancy "new" varietals, stick to the

Take a look at the subject: Clearly says "00", so it's the 2000
vintage.
