Last of the my Mohicans, but at 10 yrs everything is balanced and integrated with smooth silky tannins. Tricky cork extraction but I wouldn’t recommend leaving it too long before you drink this vintage.
It’s terrific when you find a wine that is really singing and hitting the high notes
Overall excellent😀

Starting to hit its straps at 8 years old
Excellent Cab Sauvignon well balanced with integrated tannins and alcohol
Just so positive about the consistency and value of this wine over the last 30 years.
I first “found” this at Morton’s in HK in 1996 and it’s been a favourite ever since, always with a good NY cut or porterhouse!

Oh my gosh I've been to Morton's in Hong Kong 4 times. Tsim Sha Tsui (fun to say since I was 7) 😅

Hi @Dave Top of Sheraton Hotel and great views of HK, lived there for 6 years and regularly visit. My best Morton’s story happened in San Francisco when my then teenage son took on the challenge of eating kilo porterhouse and you got a second serving free, I had to restrain him from devouring a third, he’s now 6’ 7” and a big fellow - Morton’s always had a good wine list. Hope you enjoyed your time in HK.😀

That's great! I lived in the Philippines for about 18 years, and in the 1980's, Hong Kong was a favorite vacation destination. Toys R Us, apples, milk, Cadbury chocolate... of course the Philippines has modernized and now there's a Starbucks on every corner. Last time I was on Nathan Street was around 10 years ago, and I'd love to go back. Sounds like you knew how to grow a big boy! Lots of protein 😅 Cheers!

@David White Chateau Reynella produces probably Australia’s best Vintage Port. I have been consuming them for several decades. Not sure if they make their way to the UK.
