Thank God for cousins with hookups! Cracked this to celebrate my son, Johnny, and his arrival.
A little hot. I suggest one small rock to help release other aromas and flavors that can be overwhelmed by the alcohol. Vanilla, cream, baking spices. Absolutely love it accompanied with a Nicaraguan cigar. Cheers to new life and future endeavors! — 7 years ago

So today my son got accepted to law school, and it's time to celebrate with his birth year wine, that I kept for this occasion.
A pretty ruby in color with a wide brick/ brownish rim.
Wonderful nose of blueberries, blackberries, cooked strawberries, cedar, licorice, vanilla, cola, light forest floor, earth, light coffee, leather and Indian spices. Just beautiful.
Medium bodied, soft and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, stewed plums, cooked cherries, cedar, light vanilla, spices, dark chocolates, coffee, herbs, tobacco, light sweet vinaigrette and peppercorn.
Long finish with zero tannins and tangy raspberries.
What a wonderful 23 year old Zinfandel this is. Drinking so nicely and smoothly at this point. Showing great complexity with a great mouthfeel.
The high alcohol is very well integrated at this point. Delicious by itself or with food.
I did not decant it, and it was delicious right out of the bottle. Even better after 20 minutes.
Since I was drinking it (almost) by myself (covid), it lasted for 3 hours, and I really enjoyed it this whole time.
Elegant, rich and structured with a wonderful nose.
I paired it with a Charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
15.8% alcohol by volume.

No soy muy aficionado a los Cabernet Sauvignon, siempre me han parecido muy cargados sobretodo en boca, pesados, será por eso que con carnes van muy bien, a mi más bien me gustan los vinos ligeros, frutados, especiados, muy sutiles en el paso por barricas, en fin… son gustos de cada quien, aunque debo decir que este vino en particular es más ligero, lo degustamos con parrilla de carne a discreción, no hay duda el Cabernet Sauvignon se luce y armoniza muy bien saludos #wine #wines #winelovers #piscopremium #piscosour #pisco #10añosdeamoralpisco — 7 years ago

Quality time with my 21 y.o. son.
Beer is supposedly best before 2020 (2017 brew). But we all know this is when the magic starts — 3 years ago
