1970 Beaulieu Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Georges de Latour Private Reserve

Straight from the winery's cellar. My expectations were pretty low on a 46 year old Napa Cabernet, but this wine showed its on resolve. The color was remarkably brick-red, expecting it to be more oxidized. Aromatically, the wine still was showing fruit, more dried red currant than black. A sense of elegance on the nose. Medium in body, with the tannins all but faded. A nice dark, red fruit on the palate. This wine held up in the decanter until finished.
A real treat enjoying a historical bottle.

Tipping the scales at 17.1% alcohol (not the 16.4% on the label), this wine is a terrible example. The VA on this wine is so strong I had to measure it. Barely on the legal limit. Tired of the overly high alcohol, high VA on their wines.
