Would be “wary” “weary” and even “whereieh” of any California Cabernet from 1988. Anyone ever have a good one from this vintage? Can’t think of one myself that was even remotely enjoyable?
“Heavy-handed with oak. Leafy, earthy flavors challenge the Cabernet and chocolate flavors. The finish gets woody and tannic. Best to let it sit until 1993 and beyond. Tasted three times. Beware of bottle variation. –”
