Niebaum Coppola Winery Rubicon 1994, Rutherford, California

#AgedWineTuesday

Dark ruby in color with a short brick rim.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing blackberries, black currants, plums, cedar, tobacco leaf, vanilla, licorice, spices, vinaigrette, eucalyptus, wet leaves, herbs and black pepper.

Medium finish with soft tannins and raspberries.

This 29 year old is still drinking nicely now, but past it's peak. Still showing lots of fruits at this age.

I did not decant it, and let it open in the bottle. Needs 90 minutes to open up properly.

Rich and fruit forward with a soft mouthfeel. Delicious and elegant.

Good by itself as a sipping wine. Nice to drink these kind of older wines.

A blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Aged in new French oak barrels for 24 months.

14.1% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

$225 (current vintage). — 5 months ago

Not holding up as well as many other 80’s Napa cabs - but still delicious and loaded with spice. — 3 years ago

Whites and reds from our recent Confrerie Saint Etienne dinner. I was fortunate to take home the last bottle, and I’m glad we have a few extras to keep hidden in the CSE cellar for a few years to see how they age.

This was paired alongside a Gustave Lorentz Gewurtztraminer Reserve, with the food being Lemon Sole. Wonderful pairing. Hardly any whiff of petrol here…more tropical than anything (guava, green pineapple), lemon and limestone. On the palate, this is one of the more commanding and deeply rich Alsatian Riesling’s I’ve had in a while. It’s nervy down the mid-palate, but really fleshed out on the sides…big time balance. Mineral streak, and total Alsatian vibe to it, but all dialed up to 11 (in a good way). Even over the course of dinner, this improved. Still on the upswing. — a year ago

Delicious #alsace #pinotgris - do yourself a favor and let this warm up a bit in the glass. Nose has lemon oil, marzipan, lanolin - bright acidity on the palate, white pepper at the very end. — 3 months ago

This was served too cold. Much better as it warms up. Went well with a spicy chilled corn soup. — 2 years ago
