Monday, February 12, 2024 - Ok, I am officially convinced. SOME California wines age incredibly well. No wonder 1997 was THE year. This chains Bordeaux to California with a ++ component, called rich, living fruit. Whiffs of tobacco bring you into the glass and then, the taste profile transports you away in melted cold steel, tobacco, coffee grounds, and gobs of happy fruit dancing through and through on a platform of sturdy acidity wrapped in cashmere. I could see this as a 1989 Bordeaux. Drink with no hurry, but dont hesitate and deprive yourself and die with this wine in your cellar.
