title: Paoletti 1997 Non Plus Ultra Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
description: Extremely dark, with toast, cherry liqueur and forest notes on the nose; this opens into deep black fruit, licorice and espresso flavors. The mouthfeel is full and rich, as it transitions effortlessly into a smooth, dry, anise and briar-tinged finish that has an interesting and elegant viscosity to it. A black beauty needing three to five years to develop.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Non Plus Ultra
