Sunday, February 12, 2023 - Wow. Stored properly since its release.
Last bottle from my stepfather’s large Washington collection, most of which were sold off, but we kept two cases of odds and ends.
I had this in my personal cellar for six years as an oddity from Washington, but finally decided to pop and pour just to see how bad it was. I guessed wrong.
So bricked it was brown at the edges. Bordeaux like tertiary flavors, woods, mushroom, and some jolly rancher and gummy bear fruit still showing through. Amazingly complex, obviously fully mature, but quite delicious. Like drinking a lighter 1960s first growth Bordeaux.
Was this the rare survivor or would other bottles of this vintage be the same? We will likely never know.
