Beautifully aged Third Growth Bordeaux. We are not sure about the actual blend but guessing equal parts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. (Maybe some Petite Verdot added to bring about the beautiful color and floral component?) Bright ruby color. (Deeper ruby than I would have guessed for a wine of this age). Beautifully aromatic with notes of blackberry, burnt rubber, purple flowers, ash and coffee on the nose. Pallet also features blackberry, with hints of mineral, black licorice and black currant. Long and nicely smoky finish. Ripe, dense and full bodied. Unbelievably fresh for a wine of twenty-plus years of age. Simply incredible. Thank you so much Kasey and Pete for sharing this bottle. Had the pleasure of revisiting this wine again in July 2023. Spectacular!
