So,
how is this 14-year-old Texas wine holding up?
Quite well! If you did not see
the vintage on the bottle, you might think this was a much younger wine of perhaps
five years. There is almost no color deterioration noted as you pour this ruby gem
into the glass. Notes of blackberry and raspberry are there along with some
leather. Take those first few sips, and those tannins are still holding on to
this well aged beauty. There is a touch
of vanilla but oh so subtle. This almost
full-bodied beast is quite a surprise and impressive wine to enjoy after all
these years hanging out in the cellar. You can probably still hold this bottle
longer if you have some, but to be honest, it is drinking so well right now, so
you might want to enjoy a glass now. Cheers!
