Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1978

Medium light garnet , wide terracotta rim . Rich quite ripe fruits , sunny and incredibly inviting . On the palate lovely balance between sweet ripe dark fruits and freshness with touches of liquorice and grafite nuances . Long and balanced on the finish , lovely fresh acidity , resolved rounded tannins . Perfect now and over the next 5-8 years, I would imagine at end of its peak . — 19 hours ago

Pretty amazing that the regular bottling has aged this well!

Yes @Tom Casagrande , I’m sure the fact that this hadn’t changed hands since being bought from the UK importer in the 80s , and stored in Blenheim Palaces perfect , dark cellar had a lot to do with it … really was in great shape!

Les Vaucrains Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2011

2011 vintage. Opened-not decanted-and tasted after three hours. Medium body. Nearly as much stuffing as a holiday fowl and the nose was replete with orange citrus and baking spices. Has at least another decade of excellent enjoyment if not two. 4.18.24. — a month ago

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Spicy on the nose. Starts up with lush dark fruit, black cherries, figs, and touch of caramel. There is a moderate acidity that then builds tempered by licorice and smoke. — 7 hours ago

Napa Valley Merlot 2019

Revisiting an old friend. The ‘19 Merlot doesn’t disappoint. Keenan is always solid. Layers of red fruit, long finish. Nice acidity. — 2 months ago
