this had to be the surprise of the night. The wind held up after all these years. OMG, they knew how to make wine in Napa way back playing! This gorgeous beast could've been mistaken for a first growth Bordeaux!!!!!!
What a spectacular rockstar it was. Badass in a glass to say the least! I loved it and he just happened to be Shawn Rose's birth year Wine!!
Great birth year bud!!!!! This really held its own I'm on the Titans that we drink this evening. It was my only bottle but I will be sourcing some more within the near future to say the least. The only thing better was our company this evening! Thank you for making a trip down from Texas! Your motto is go big or go home so I had to pull out all the stops this evening!!!!! @Shawn R @Christine Christine and I loved seeing you. We will definitely repay the favor!!!!! I'm sure your Texas barbecue will make for some great badass pairings!

Amazing 44 year old Cabernet!! So well preserved with layers of fruit and soft tannins. It continued to open up for over two hours. The palate coating flavors with minimal oak showing gave us a treat worth having for our anniversary. Notice Al Brounstein signed this hand blown Magnum for us. A tribute to Al and “Boots “ their wine lives on.🍷🍷🍷

Aug 17th, 2019From Magnum this was stunning Mountain Cabernet!! Dark with little color change- complex and full dark fruit flavor and a very long finish. Perhaps the best Cab I have tasted in more than a year. 42 years and still young and vital. Have a few more and will share them with friends...🍷🍷🍷

A beautiful crimson glow in the glass. Cherries, moist earth and iron combine to tease the olfactory system. My mouth was filled with glee as I did not expect such a vibrant mixture of fruit,acid and tannin. No danger of fading but also not sure it gets better as it appears to be in the sweet spot wine lovers are always on the search for.
