1999 Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon - Montelena Estate
(USA / California / Napa )

85 pts
Upon cutting the wine's capsule, a bad sight greeted me. The cork was tainted with wine, and upon contact with the corkscrew, the cork crumbled. I had to push the cork in. The wine was surprisingly not fully ruined. Some hints of of oxidation was apparent. Still, I detected aromas of leather, and dark fruits. After an hour or so, it smelled of iodine. On the palate, licorice, leather, and rust. However, the wine was very short, the flavors fleeting. The structure was disjointed. After another hour or so, I smelled and tasted cherries. I could only wonder how this wine would have been if it was pristine.
