After
16 years in the bottle, it does not hurt to wait at least a couple of more
hours after popping the cork to thoroughly enjoy this classic Texas red wine.
It is primarily blended with 73% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Sangiovese with a
mix of 7% Syrah, Malbec, Petite Verdot, and Cabernet Franc. This Texas High
Plains sourced fruit shows little signs of browning and seems to hold most of
its fruit flavors well. Notes of
blackberries and raspberries are dominant along with a hint of chocolate. A bit
of leather and earthy notes rounds out the flavor profile of this very dry red
wine. The tannins are still holding firm, and the finish is nice on this lovely
lady. If you have a bottle cellaring well, no reason why this still cannot keep
for a while longer. Enjoy well and salute!
