Monday, July 23, 2018 - Book Club - Grand Finale (FMIII in the OC): Well, if you're lucky enough to have a few of these in the cellar, no worries regarding aging. This was very fresh and vibrant. There's a spicy note that I want to call dill because I know it's aged in American oak but it's definitely something from the barrels and a crazy perfume. I went back a few times because I thought one of the ladies might have put on perfume but nope, it's the wine. Dark fruit, BDX like character and light caramel finish. Hard to believe this is 18 years old.
