Holding Thumbs

Beaulieu Vineyard

Private Reserve Georges de Latour Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1969

Holding up nicely! Bit of menthol, a little fruit hanging on and notes of tobacco. Silky tannin and a touch of orange rind on the palate. — 11 years ago

Last bottle of one of our favorites. Based on the last two, I think this is just past peak and would recommend drinking up if you're holding any. — 12 years ago
