The 1974 cap. could be fun to taste......was it stored well in a cool place?
If you like good Pinot don't go with this one:
DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI ROMANEE CONTI 2016 OWC
It is "overprized".......probably better go with the $25 bottle.....or a good German one.....

Since you asked...
Storage was not perfect, but adequate. I've found that with old style cabs from great vintages and great producers, that were made in more of a Bordeaux style, age gracefully. The estate wines of John Daniel Jr. fall into this category.
I was fortunate to have picked up a handful of these back in the late 1990s when I worked for Francis Ford Coppola at what was then Niebaum ~ Coppola Winery. To make room for a new tasting area, they were selling off, to employees, hundreds of bottles of old wine that they thought were problably past their prime. I picked up the best estate Cask Cabernets from vintages that were considered great in the Napa Valley. My purchase really paid off!
Cask A-1 was my absolute favorite from 1974. Cask A-9 my second favorite. It had a bouquet of ripe blackberries and wild honeycomb. The mouthfeel was delicate, like silk, tasting of blackberry with a long finish. It was actually very pinot like. I sure hope I find another one buried in one of my boxes!
We now return to normal programming... 😀

Sh...t missed this one 🙁 Any chance there is a video of Pa's talk? The link above for PASS DIY - YouTube doesn't work and my browsers complain about dangerous places I am trying to visit.
It's a redirect to YouTube. If you trust Google, just click through. 🙂
Once we hit 100 subs, a more convenient (memorable) link will be available.
So, please sub. 🙂
