This wine's dead now. It was once superb -- a mid 90s bottle as late as 2008. This one last bottle was probably marginal several years ago but it declined rapidly. This one was like opening the coffin to talk to grandpa. Not at all a pleasant thing.

1995 Clos du Bois Cabernet Sauvignon Briarcrest

For reasons unknown I've held onto this bottle and decided it was time to let it go...and to our great surprise, after hours of decanting, it was actual good. I'm glad I didn't wait another year and wish I hadn't wait quite as long as I did but it was full-bodied and interesting, with a variety of noses through the degustation. It was a conversation with a centenarian -- a cherished moment but maybe it's time to say farewell.
The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are slow. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. The body is full. The wine has coarse texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.
