#AgedWineTuesday
Dark inky in color with a short reddish/ brick rim.
Strong nose of cooked black fruits with cedar, vanilla, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, spices, light earth and black pepper.
Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry, and still fruity on the palate, with blackberries, black currants, cooked plums, tobacco, cedar, chocolates, vanilla, licorice, cola and mediterranean spices.
Long finish with soft tannins and cherries.
This 22 year old Bordeaux blend from Beckstoffer Vineyard in Napa Valley is drinking gorgeously now. Rich and fruit forward, extremely complex and engaging. Well balanced with a soft mouthfeel.
Still drinking at its peak, although will not get better from this point on, as it feels like it is at the end of its peak.
I did not decant it, and let it open up in the bottle. Delicious after an hour, and a great sipping wine.
A superb experience at this point in time.
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
95 points.
