5th and Bowie

Bourbon Barrel Aged Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon

Really does have an edge of bourbon to the red. Appreciated the novelty and even thought it was a decent cab. Turns out it goes well with burgers (if not going with the standard of beer) — 4 months ago

Yowza. Had this back to back with UV-SL 2021 which was amazing but I think this was even better. Similar wines. Lots of body and compact citrus and fleshy fruit. This had a bit more complexity in the lingering finish. Outstanding. — 4 months ago

Tasted blind, although we are now told that all of the reds tonight are 61's so our tasting becomes a single blind horizontal exercise. This wine is brownish tawny, translucent and very old-looking. Perfumed nose with notes of cola, rhubarb, cherry and earth. Has a light structure with faded fruit at first. We're told this bottle was a leaker with the lowest fill of all of tonight's bottles. Guesses are all over the map including Italian and very old red burg (me). We've had spectacular 61 Palmers before and in the first part of the evening, this bottle was missing it. BUT, late in the evening (and 9 hours after opening) this caught its sea legs and grew in volume, complexity and delivery. My rating was crossed out three times as I upgraded this while we all marvelled at the improvement... and in the end, this 61 Palmer showed it's pedigree and overall power. Glad we waited it out!
