Bouchaine Cabernet Sauvignon J.E. Luper

Quick splash decant, nose is good, first sip is nice sweet fruit still, plenty of acid still, but of earth/mushroom, but the freshness wins out. With air a nice graphite note comes in pretty strong. Real nice example of old Napa cab

Special occasion vintage. Deep brink red but no bricking. Nose of nail polish, funk and earth. Taste is devoid of fruit flavors and is mostly earthy, Smokey and with notes of asparagus. Medium plus body. Little acidity but very dry. Likely past it’s prime and certainly not my style. About 78-80
