July 1, 2023 - Well my good friend Michael, who got me started on wine, is celebrating his %#th birthday on Monday. They came out for dinner so I decided to open some really special wines to celebrate. This bottle and a bottle of the 2012 Dominus. I opened the bottles three hours prior to dinner which was grilled steak with some grilled NJ corn. This is an amazing bottle of wine. Dark fruit on the nose leading to a palate of blackberry, blueberry, black cherry, plums, figs, tobacco and cedar. The finish was extremely long. Just a great bottle of wine and my preferred of the evening.
As an aside and I know he will be laughing when he reads this. As the bottles were slowly being consumed - he had me open a half bottle of Switchback Ridge Cabernet to pour into the wives' glasses as he figured they would not appreciate the Verite as much as we did.'
Oh well, boys will be boys, no matter how old we get.1 person found this helpful 1,792 views
