Marcelina Cabernet Sauvignon 1998

Comments: I had saved this up for a while, waiting for something special. I think I may have waited too long because, though the wine was not bad, it was a little harsh tasting. Nothing that you could say, “Oh it’s corked”, or anything like that, but just not that smooth finish I expected. Lots of vanilla and spice on the nose that continued on the tongue, but the finish was off.
