Privilege

Lokoya

Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

30 minutes in a decanter: great. 120 minutes: dumb. 5 hours: Amazing. Blackberry cobbler on the nose with a hint of graphite. Eucalyptus, old leather and cigar box across the mid. And the finish, my god, sweet oak, violets and raspberry jam. It keeps building and building. Maybe the best wine I've ever had the privilege to drink. — 11 years ago

Thanks, I figured that would be the case for a top Grand Cru in such a structured vintage.

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1981

Um yeah... #BOOM status granted for this at the #yulwinethrowdown . 81 not the best of vintages and wines are reportedly past peak but this first growth was not. Very interesting flavour profile, certainly secondary characteristics but structurally still pretty sound. I was glad to find it still alive and in my opinion had many more years left before the big decline. Awesome privilege to have tasted. — 11 years ago
