@Leopoldstoch Across the Alley was delicious, I’ve got plans to clear out some space in the old beer cabinet and thankfully have one more of these to look forward to. Gotta keep my eye out for that Fudgesicle as well

What did you think?

Cellared properly, I give it 10 out of 10 stars,  for a Bordeaux. And since it is a Bordeaux Red Blend of about 20 years old, you have hit the bulls eye. It is right about its peak for BDX reds, typically 18 - 25 years.

St Emilion is no stranger to some of the worlds greatest vintages, and a Grand Cru has much more stringent requirements to assure its quality. It is a "right bank" wine from a small hamlet that provides some of the oldest vines providing grapes of cab sauv, cab franc, merlot and malbec.

This winemaker is known to produce "sleeping beauties" because people buy them to build verticals of sequential vintages, and hold them for their peak. Letting them refine even more so in the cellar.

I can't ever seem to do that. I buy it. I drink it. I have had a couple I have done that way.

But very seldom have I done so.

My favorites are French Red Blends, and it is not even close. It is my opinion, the French, when it comes to making wine, have forgotten more than we will ever know.

Awesome bottle of wine my friend. That will make any meal or event, a very special occasion.

I hope you enjoyed it.
