#AgedWineTuesday
Deep in color with a short reddish rim. Not showing much age.
Medium plus in body with nice complexity.
A little harsh on the palate with medium acidity.
Showing red and black fruits with cedar, vanilla, leather, spices, earth, chocolates, tobacco, coffee, cola, licorice and peppercorn.
Short finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 27 year old Napa Cabernet is still drinking very nicely, although not at its best. A little unbalanced, but drinkable nonetheless. Really liked the tannins here.
Needed some time to open up, and show structure and tannins, but good right out of the bottle as well.
