I’m not sure who was calling this the Bobby Boucher (Joe or Shawn) but it is nobody’s water boy! Still fully intact at 49 years. I believe this was the first Bosche bottling. Plum, fig and cassis are all present. I get caramel too. Finish fades ever so slightly but it had more tannic backbone than the Insignia, Mondavi and HSS that we’re 20+ years older. Not quite as polished as those three but clearly heartier and more unique. Props to @David L for sharing again.
