Caves Primavera

Casal Mor Reserva Dão Red Blend 1965

1965 Baga from Barraida (Agueda), Casal Mor 'Caves Primavera' is still made to this day! Founded in 1944.

So, now the wine!

Color of tawny and brick, absolutely as expected at this age. The cork was whole when pulled via Durand, a little wet and very dark.

The nose was sous bois, crushed fall leaves, dried chipped beef, citrus peel, dried flowers and red fruits.

The palate was elegant and indeed tasted Portuguese, with some notes and textures that reminded me of old Barbaresco, Rioja and even Burgundy in its purity and finnesse.

Further time won't help this wine, but to taste this history, this snapshot of time, is one of the reasons I love wine so much.

Obrigado!

Lautaret St. Joseph Syrah 2003

One of the more unique Syrahs I’ve had. Inky black fruit, roast beef, licorice, cinnamon, and iron. Great acidity and complexity. Nose and palate morphs with each sip. — 6 years ago

Spice on the nose. Touch of wood. Good structure, a bit backwards. But juicy, nice acidity and freshness. Mineral finish. Luscious and fresh. Needs air. With air it gets lush and ripe. — 8 years ago

Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1966

Everything great Bordeaux should be. Cork crumbled in the Durand but first sniff and I knew it was on. Waves of saddle leather, tobacco, cedar, forrest floor and cherries. The wine was intense but more feminine than I expected, a great balance. Truly one of the best and most memorable bottles I've had the last few years. This is what drinking wine is all about, experiences that shake you to your core. — 9 years ago

Château Bel-Air Lagrave

Cru Bourgeois Moulis en Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 1989

Rust...dusty and dried tertiary beauty of red fruits, spice, leather and forest floor...fun and actually better than the last bottle!

Should have used the #durand! Old Bordeaux transforms into a much wider spectrum of cuisine pairing. We had this with a seared duck breast and confit leg...excellent match!
