California Napa Cab Sauv. Another middle-of-the road wine. The nose is unrelentingly tight. The bottle should be sufficiently areated since many other guests have poured the bottle and my glass was from the bottom third. Vigourous swirling only yielded a hint of black fruits and tar. The mouth is surprisingly rounded and smooth but again not much fruit - what you might call 'elegant' in Bordeaux-speak. No obtrusive tannins or acid, but neither were there much complexity nor weight to impress. Just a decent dinner wine (7.0/10).
