1999 Ch Montelena Estate

[winoweenie]

Opened a 750 to check its' temp. Deep ruby almost opaque, Brite ruby rim. Nose a little shy but after tickling under its ear for 30 minutes gave up lush red fuits, cassis and spices. Supple entry, weighty center, and a 4+ lapper finish. Nice core of silky tannins will carry this baby another 3-6 and should hold another 10-15. Lovely effort and still one of my favorite cab houses. 94/95. 50 on futures. WW
