WHEEEEEEEEEWHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
What a great day! Started off by playing a round of golf with my son and brother-in-law, beautiful 90-degree day with 30% humidity. The golf was great, as was the beer girl, (ahem!). Next at 1900 hours we descended on the Country Club of Maryland for dinner with Wife, Mom, Dad, Sis, Bro-in-law, Son and Wife and proceeded to pop the following wines and eat in "mass quantities".

1993 Chateau St. Jean "Cinq Cepages"
I've always loved the color of this wine, bright, regal, dark purple/ruby, not quite opaque. Nose of cedar, mocha, black currant. Flavors of mature plum, cedar and chocolate on the long tannic finish. This wine could go at least another 5-10. I like this better than the '95 Cinq.

1995 Beringer Private Reserve Cab
Opaque black purple with ruby nuances and muted nose, (didn't get a chance to decant properly). As we sipped, the nose opened to reveal layers of plum, blackberry, currant, molasses, vanilla and a little cedar. Flavors that hit and run like watching a segmented movie. Wham, plum...Wham, vanilla...Wham, anise...Wham, coffee, and a little "zing" on the tip of the tongue on the start. Great wine, my daughter-in-laws fav but still very tannic. This wine was too young and greater than I will have to estimate the years in front of it.

1996 J.Lohr "Hilltop Vineyard" Cab
Slightly cloudy, dark, purple/ruby which lightens at the rim. Did someone say brown sugar? The scent jumped from the glass with plum, sweet vanilla, blackberries and BROWN SUGAR. Not as intense at the Beringer but seamless and balanced with a long finish...my favorite of the evening paired with a perfect, tender, very flavorful, CHECK THIS OUT HOTWINE, Free Range New York strip Med. rare with crispy buttermilk onions. Finished the evening with a Cifuentes cigar on the deck at home on a star filled, 70-degree Maryland night. Happy, happy, happyyyy.....zzzzzzzzz.
