#AgedWineTuesday

Dark inky in color with a short reddish/ brick rim.

Strong nose of cooked black fruits with cedar, vanilla, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, spices, light earth and black pepper.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry, and still fruity on the palate, with blackberries, black currants, cooked plums, tobacco, cedar, chocolates, vanilla, licorice, cola and mediterranean spices.

Long finish with soft tannins and cherries.

This 22 year old Bordeaux blend from Beckstoffer Vineyard in Napa Valley is drinking gorgeously now. Rich and fruit forward, extremely complex and engaging. Well balanced with a soft mouthfeel.

Still drinking at its peak, although will not get better from this point on, as it feels like it is at the end of its peak.

I did not decant it, and let it open up in the bottle. Delicious after an hour, and a great sipping wine.

A superb experience at this point in time.

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.

Very nice. Has medium finish - not soft or big, just nice. — 2 years ago

Mycket potent och lite fint fluff och energi. Skulle lämnat ett ännu bättre slutgiltigt intryck om det inte var för att vinet slocknade något i glaset. Hade kanske behövt drickas över längre tid. — 5 years ago

No sediment when this half bottle poured. Bright acidity, subtle red fruits when handled gently, with patience. — 5 years ago

Not as rich as the other vintages I’ve tasted, this 2011 bottling showoffs its fruity and fresh side. Plum, raspberry jam, cherry, cassis, graphite, and hint of chocolate and smoke. Palate was fresh and lively, with round acidity that had a minty feel.
This is delicious, but lacking a bit complexity that I’ve come to expect from this Merlot. I probably did not do it justice by decanting it for only about 30 minutes, because the guests could not wait. — 7 years ago

A long two weeks forging our new “frontier” deserves this aptly named drop of gorgeous grape juice. Blackberry jam and tobacco with some pepper. #VAMOS — 8 years ago

An excellent wine. Still fresh and will improve with more time in the cellar. Full-bodied, cassis, blackberries, cherry, cola, and a bit of spice. — 9 months ago

Forgot to write notes that night but this was nice. Another great example of a lieu dit punching above its weight. — 7 months ago

9.1

Nice spiced berry nose of blackberry bramble, blueberry with notes of char, clove, and hints of brown sugar in the bouquet. Soft and smooth blackberry galette with weak black tea and a subtle spice on a medium long finish. Better on the second day, still holding up on the third. Great value, would buy again.

Good aroma with herb, forest like. Slight sweet strawberry flavor, bright and enough acidity. Soft tanning. Pretty, charming world be good word to express this wine. Gilbert et Christine Felettig La Justice Gevrey Chambertin 2017 @2250, domaine - 302, 210316-210423 — 5 years ago
