October 19, 2017 - 2017 New York Wine Experience Trip; 10/16/2017-10/25/2017 (New York City, NY): What a treat to sample this 16-year-old wine from an ex-château bottle. Medium garnet in color, it is currently at a beautiful stage in its evolution. Layered with dried pit fruits, Asian spices, pipe tobacco, leather, black tea and savory herbs, it offers a level of complexity that defies written description. Medium bodied and with good acidity, it has soft residual tannins and a silky mouth texture. Impressively dense on the middle palate and very long on the finish, this is classic in quality and nothing short of spectacular. Well-cellared bottles should hold up for at least another decade. Drink now-2027.
