So, how is this 15-year-old bottle of Texas red wine holding
up? Better than expected! Longtime Texas wine fans will remember 2011 as a
brutally hot, drought-stricken vintage with little relief in sight. Harvested
from Limestone Terrace Vineyard near Wimberley, Texas, this survivor now tastes
smoother than in earlier samplings, with cherry notes still hanging on. Most of
the fruit profile has mellowed out, but the wine still remains enjoyable. The
acidity feels less intense than before, and the color has changed only
modestly. You could still cellar it a bit longer, but drink it now if you want to
catch the remaining fruit flavors. Cin Cin!
