#AgedWineTuesday
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim. Not showing much age.
Fruity nose of black fruits, cedar, spices, chocolates and coffee.
Dry and fruit forward on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing blackberries, black currants, plums, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, peppercorn, espresso, chocolates, earth and Indian spices.
Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This 17 year old Napa Valley Bordeaux blend is drinking beautifully now. Well balanced and elegant. Rich and extracted.
Drinking at its peak, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.
Fruit forward with nice complexity and mouthfeel.
It's always nice to drink wines from the iconic 2007 vintage. Love these Napa Bordeaux blends.

Still showing a lot of tannic and acidic structure, but enough fruit to keep it in check once it had a few hours of air, youthful still, and brawny. — 17 days ago
Sipping Fine Wine
The Clos du Roy has been around ever since the dukes of Burgundy, residing in nearby Dijon, documented, and drank in its virtues.
Ruby red color with aromas of ripe fruits with floral perfume and earthy tones, aged for 14 months in 30% new oak. On the palate flavors of berry and plum fruits, with pepper spice notes. Soft fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, floral and earthy spice character. — 15 days ago
