Aged, giving a bit of rum raisin. Still pleasant acid. Sadly I think it’s past prime in 2021.

Tons of charred prune and dried leaves... Beautiful bright ruby-garnet, still very much alive. Will log more later as I take a walk out first....

I’ve enjoyed this wine over the last decade. First vintage of John “Bosche”ever made. 50th birthday wine.

I have had the honor of having this piece history twice now thanks to @David L. While holding it’s own, you must tip your hat to the story that is behind the label. Stood strong against others in the evening of pre 97 Cali Cabs.
