Lateral California Red Bordeaux Blend

This was a 25 year wine that just delivered in spades. Perfumed nose. Decanted and evolved every 15 min. Delicious. 🙌

A bottle I have been looking for in my storage for quite awhile and finally found last night. A little Bordeaux blend for after dinner conversation. Thought this wine would have been more evolved with nearly 10 years in bottle. Still very youthful. The texture round and silky, dark currants, loads of baking spices; vanilla, cinnamon clove and a dash of nutmeg. Mocha, chocolate, soft, understated, dark top soils and earth with fresh & withering dark florals. @PlateAndBottle

Deserves a proper decant. Heavily oaked, with loads of vanilla present. Currants and blackberries show after some air time. A really well done wine!

Little past the prime, elegant, but oak little too present.

27 years in and that's the appeal

Was delicious!!

Good, but a bit too subtle for my tastes.

Perfect are on this with notes of black currant and a faint spice that paired beautifully with our Christmas dinner. Don't think green for this cab franc blend

Mulberry, spicy vanilla. Espresso. Bright and balanced acid. Excellent mouth feel. Silky texture.

Earthy nice tannins. Nice balance. Tobacco.
