Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Full-bodied and bold, with medium acidity and a hint of must on the nose.
Dry on the palate with black fruits, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, pencil lead, dark coffee, black tea and forest floor.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 19 year old still has a lot of power. Nicely balanced and complex. A beautiful Bordeaux from the great 2005 vintage.
Needs a couple of hours to open up properly and show the tannins.

This was a very, very special evening and the wine went even beyond our wildly high expectations. From the moment the cork came out, it was just absolutely perfect! The bottle has seen some travel but has been expertly stores for over 30 years and then brought back for this special night not far from Barbaresco itself to accompany a mind blowing meal with fantastic friends. — 10 months ago
Oak, lime like herb in aroma. Rich, citrus, white flowers. Citrus, comfortable acidity. Each factor in the taste is showing the feature clearly. From Hunter valley which is an initial place for wine in Australia. Vat 47 Hunter Chardonnay Tyrrell’s 2018 @7546, Toscany JH, 231028-231111 — 2 years ago

Drinking this way too early, but it sounded good and it is good. Chewy, tart cherry juice, cedar, silky tannins. Happy Friday, friends!
