2005 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Galitzine Vineyard

At pheromones for lunch
Big nose of red fruits, vanilla, cinnamon, and cedar. On the palette it’s full bodied, intense, with noticeable but fine tannins. Good balance between fruit and acidity, with prominent notes of molasses that come with a port-wine like finish. A pretty big and complex wine that paired really well with steak.
Nice wine!

At home
Decanted half a bottle for 1 hour before serving. Bottle breathed for 3.5 hours before serving the other half.
Initially the wine was quite closed. Some red fruits on the nose. On the palette it is fruity with good acidity.
3.5 hours later the wine opened up with a fairly intense bouquet of rose petals, meat stock, mushrooms, and cherries. The palette is round, vibrant, silky, and fairly intense. There is a good balance between savory and fruity elements. The wine continues to develop in the glass with air.
Surprisingly accessible for a Corton rogue. Nice wine!
PS First time seeing the AS-Elite cork - pretty interesting!

Pop and pour.
Deep golden hue. Enticing bouquet of apricot, white flowers, and honey. On the palette it’s round, oily, savory, with good intensity filling the palette. It has vibrant acidity, complemented by a decent amount of fruits. Slight bitterness on the finish. A fairly complex wine.
Finally an aged white burg without any premox issues.
Delicious!
