Beaulieu Vineyard
Private Reserve Georges de Latour Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Dark tawny with a nice nose. Notes of dark cherries, camphor, wood smoke, cedar trees. Very thin in the mouth. Fruit is drying and fading. Interesting nose today but drink up soon.

Jun 23rd, 2021Definitely judged this too quickly. Showing + oxidation and + bricking. Still, a dark mid palate opened up with a few minutes and a perplexing menthol quality kept flashing before the tannin. Even the tannin evolved to more complex textures with a little time—dark roast coffee comes to mind. A very very nice wine.

Feb 26th, 2017What a beauty. Thanks to the depth of our cellar and the generosity of those guests who like to leave a little behind for us. I don't really have the resources to buy bottles like this, and probably wouldn't spend them like this anyway. It's an awesome perk of working here.

Jul 20th, 2020Still has some fruit left. Color is perfect. Label is perfect. A little taint on the nose. I’m too balls deep into the booze today to give any additional notes
