Spottswoode, Napa Valley, Cabernet Sauvignon 1990 Tuscany the 2016 Barbera Cervo NorthridgeBase of neck 92 Points CellarTracker In my cellar since release, decanted at 5pm and tasted over several hours. The wine looks quite youthful with medium dark garnet and little to no bricking. Very old school, Cali cab (thankfully) with a very Bordeaux like funky nose, as well as cassis, pencil lead, lots of earthy notes and some chocolate, cedar and tobacco the\at emerge with a little air. Palate is less expressive than the nose at least in the first
