1970 | Cabernet Sauvignon
Beaulieu Vineyard; Georges de Latour Private Reserve
Napa Valley; California, USA
(95-97; Drink 2025-40+)
3h decant

Nose has ripe cherry, cedar++, charcoal, grilled black cherry, faint olive and over-ripe blackberry.
Palate has dried cherry/blackberry, tobacco, strawberry, vanilla, dried mint, leather with medium+ tannins and plenty of acidity to hold for decades.

Epic, even besting the 1968 & 1995 for my palate!

Happy Father's Day 2024 to all. — 17 hours ago

Had this one on the shelf for a while.
Classic Cali Cab. Big, earthy, sharp tannins that time has maybe softened just a touch..

It is a dark purple wine, with a nose featuring ripe blackberries and cassis, vanilla, tar, cigar and clove. The palate is quite nice, with cherry, blueberry and raspberry flavors draped with a bit of oak spice and offering a silky set of tannins. I paired it with a rib eye and used it in my skillet mushrooms. The wife gave me a big thumbs up, so I know it worked. — 9 months ago

Classic 🥰
Dark fruits, brown spices, cedar, damp soil, sweet pipe tobacco, hot chestnuts. Soft and warm, lovely underlying freshness, smoky minerality.
Really singing today, but will go for at least another decade. — 23 days ago
