Delicious! — 3 months ago
About 50/50 Merlot - Cabernet Franc, deep Ruby red color with aromas of red fruits, floral and spicy oak notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and plum with notes of cacao, oak and spice. Firm drying tannins, medium savory finish, ending with fruit, spice and slight earthy notes. Organic! — 3 months ago
Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego
1986 vintage. Ripped through six bottles (one corked) for a 1986 BDX dinner @ Mister A's-San Diego. All bottles appropriately aged fill and decent+ corks. Double decanted and tasted over the course of 5 hours. Mix of powdery and stubborn (non-chunky) sed amongst the 6 bottles. Light-medium body throughout. Somewhat muted experience overall. None of the bottles (with variation) shone/sung. Wine is firmly on the downside of the bell curve with best days behind it (based on the 5 + corked bottle examples). There was none of the usual P-L flavor markers but the body hung in there. Pains me to say this but drink up now unless you've got a larger format bottle. Maggie (+) would probably yield a higher score. 3.14.24. — 14 days ago
