Note di degustazione
The 1978 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from Burgess Cellars is a delight. Fully mature on the nose like many Cabernets from this era, it is a doppelgänger for a Médoc, with sous-bois and light tobacco scents that tinge vestiges of black fruit. The palate does not deliver the complexity of some of its peers, but this does retain balance and finesse. It’s perhaps a little simple or rather…unassuming towards the finish, as if it has done its job well and now it’s time to leave. Not one of those earth-shattering old Californians, but decent.
