1978 Freemark Abbey Cabernet Bosche

[winecollector]

I'm interested in knowing how the Freemark Abbey Cab looked while still in the bottle and in the glass if you hold it up to the light. A slightly brownish tint would indicate oxidation. To clarify, just because a wine is "oxidized," does't mean that it has turned to vinegar, as Foodie also mentioned. Some oxidized wines I've had in the past were still somewhat drinkable, though not necessarily enjoyable.

Also too, I agree with Foodie that this wine has probably seen some heat in it's lifetime.

By the way, welcome to the wine board. Just a suggestion- you might want to be careful about inviting us over for wine. With over 2000 members, we can get real thirsty!
