Another 4th Friday for the books!
The theme for this 4th Friday seemed to be old wines that hold their age well...this was no exception. Crazy that a wine this age (older than me!) can still have such color and fruit to it. Fruit was almost secondary and very dirty/dusty...mainly blackberry. Some old cranberry notes came out on the finish...secondary notes of barnyard and herbs. Aging gracefully.

Brilliant! Way cool to taste an '86. Big Eucalyptus. Some canned beans and earth, baby!
