WTN: Chappellet Cabernet Sauvignon 1996

Napa

Decanted about an hour before the meal.

Rather dark red in the glass.

Tarry, earthy, dusty, leather and smoke on the nose.

Medium weight, quite tangy, beef broth, somewhat stewed fruit, dusted cherry, leather, tarry, drying, earthy, smoky, pipe tobacco.

Fruity, spicy and a little hot on the finish.

Appeared to be a little dried out. Not the best bottle, but still quite good,
