Colesworthy Beckstoffer Las Piedras Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

9.7

This was my WOTN - amazing juice - traditional LPV / Schrader but with a nice extra kick of something else

En Mag

This wine has loads of deep, rich, sweet dark berries and vibrant, chocolate covered boysenberry finish - 2 hour decant and bam - singing loud and clear - nicely integrated silky tannins - finish was unique but not as long as I wanted or I would have gave a 9.9

The 12 is really ready to drink but might get even better is a few years

A guilty like smile - sort of like the cat that shallowed the canary smile as in the carton with tweetie bird

Magnum. This wine has superb texture, an opulent, FULL- BODIED mouthfeel, Layered finish. Sensational wine that could use a few more years in the bottle.
@Mike R Can you imagine what this would taste like in 5+ years. Can’t thank you enough for sharing this with all of us.

@David L it would be a true giant killer in 5 more years - great thought - target set for the other plus the two 13s

Clos du Mont-Olivet Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2012

The first night a bit disjointed but interesting despite being medium bodied and less complex than anticipated. The second night it was silky like chocolate milk from the carton. Wish I had more second night Sabon. — 10 years ago

Deutschkreuz Creitzer-Reserve Blaufränkisch 2004

Accidentally found a lost bottle of this vintage 2004 in the basement - in a carton since about 2006. (Solid blaufränkisch no-question but not something you’d call age-worthy, also need to mention the terrible storage circumstances with constant temperature and humidity changes for more than 10 years!).
Definitely past its prime some years ago but still very interesting. Lacks fruit. Acidity i would say medium +, tannins very soft and integrated. But not really in balance, overall very overaged aroma profile. Still interesting. Violet, reminiscent of pepper and plum, some oak and leather.
