Napa Valley, California, USA
Lots of life left. This was a classic Napa Cabernet style with a balance of red and blue fruits, solid tannins and a nice acidity. Tertiary flavors have developed but still had a youthful bounce.

Was worried after initial taste (nose of olives, bitter/sour cherries on the palate, acid, resolved tannins) but it was very good WITH food after about a two hour decant and even more remarkable considering its age. Very well-balanced and smooth. This is the second 20+ year old Seavey that I've had and I'm quite impressed with their ability to age. Though I prefer them with 5-10 years of age vs 20+.
