Very pretty color of dark ruby with a reddish/brick rim.
Beautiful nose of black currants, figs, plums, dried fruits, tobacco leaf, eucalyptus, juniper, cedar, licorice, dark chocolates, earth, herbs, spices and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, blackberries, black plums, herbs, cedar, licorice, cola, chocolates, tobacco, mediterranean spices, black tea ,herbs and black pepper.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This 27 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is drinking fabulously now. Rich, with great complexity. Elegant and nicely balanced, with a great mouthfeel.
Still drinking at its peak, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 years. Soft and elegant, with a great nose.
Wine Enthusiasts 94 points. Wine Spectator 94 points. Wine Advocate 93 points.
I did not decant it, and drank it right out of the bottle. Smooth right away, and even better after 20 minutes of airtime.
Thank you Mike for sharing this with me.
I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is always delicious. Such a great experience to drink history in a bottle.
A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.
A blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot and 3% Cabemet Franc. Aged for 26 months in (90% new) French Oak barrels.
14.4% alcohol by volume.
95 points.
$150.
