Was lucky enough to be invited over to a friends house one night for wine. Was really surprised when she brought out this bottle of wine. Her mother-in-law had passed away and had a pretty good selection of wines left over. Should have decanted but I was just happy to get a glass. Full of dark berries on the nose. Had a beautiful velvety texture.

With Tim as my Sous Chef, together we made an amazing Valentine's dinner. Grass-fed filet mignon, sautéed Bok Choy, and steamed artichokes. Paired with a couple treasures from my cellar. 1998 Le Vieux Donjon Chateauneuf du Pape (lost its fruit 😔), but then we opened a 1997 Stag's Leap Cabernet Sauvignon-wow!! Beautifully aged, silky tannins, balanced acidity, lush berry fruit and a lovely finish. Boy are we spoiled! P. S. I only paid $35.95 for it back in 2001!
