Mouton 1988 750mL Sine Qua Non "One of the finest Napa

"One of the finest Napa Valley wines to pass my lips

a Cabernet Sauvignon from the Palengat Vineyard in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA

baked plums and blueberry compote scents with touches of Indian spices

but not broodish or rustic

Nothing is out of balance in this explosively rich

Mouton 1988 750mL Sine Qua Non "One of the finest Napa"There's licorice here along with mint, some lead pencil and flowers. It's full and round displaying wonderful vanilla and plum flavors. Very silky and refined yet dense and caressing. A beauty, though it does turn a little dry, always revealing its wood." JS Ratings by James Suckling, JS93, tasted 11 2015
