Thank you halkcb. Even though the Montelena
Is a Cabernet the ‘97 reminded me of the 1989 vintage in Saint Emilion. Some mild overripeness, but depth of flavour and complexity. The longer the aeration the more the Montelena had to express.

,but have drunk a magnum of 94 Chateau Montelena and 94 Stags Leap Cask 23 and they were all very representative of the very good 94 vintage. My personal favourite from that vintage is the Chateau montelena,not exactly Bordeaux in style, but still spectac...

Bordeaux style aged Californian wine; there are not many
Cheers, enjoy (and where is the matching charcuterie or cheese?)
I should post food :)
I have a glass with dinner and then slowly sip over a a few hours after. So most of my wine enjoyment comes just by itself. The slower I savour the more I enjoy.
