#AgedWineTuesday
Dark ruby in color with a short brick rim.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry and fruit forward on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing blackberries, black currants, plums, cedar, tobacco leaf, vanilla, licorice, spices, vinaigrette, eucalyptus, wet leaves, herbs and black pepper.
Medium finish with soft tannins and raspberries.
This 29 year old is still drinking nicely now, but past it's peak. Still showing lots of fruits at this age.
I did not decant it, and let it open in the bottle. Needs 90 minutes to open up properly.
Rich and fruit forward with a soft mouthfeel. Delicious and elegant.
Good by itself as a sipping wine. Nice to drink these kind of older wines.
A blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Aged in new French oak barrels for 24 months.
14.1% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
