#AgedWineTuesday
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing red currants, cooked cherries, oak, spices, vanilla, herbs, licorice, cloves, dark coffee, pencil lead, earth, wet leaves and bitter vegetables.
Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 19 year old has a lot of fruits still, and needs time to open up properly (1 hour), so be patient.
Showing great complexity at this point. Tasty and interesting.
I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
A blend of 46% Merlot and 46% Cabernet Sauvignon with Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Aged in (50% new) French oak barrels.
13% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$60.
