13.5% alcohol Dark crimson-purple color.
Exhibits viscosity. Black currant or cassis nose. Juicy dark fruits in mid-palate, some astringency on the finish. 3-lapper finish?
I think a little further along than when I tried it in a restaurant in 2003 but still needs a few years to mellow out.

I like Mondavi Cabs -- they're more lean and food friendly than some of these overextracted, high alcohol, heavily oaked cult types.

I agree.
