- winoweenie - 04-19-2008 2nd eldest daughter came over for some citrus mast nite and as I hadn't put this purchase up decided to pop one. A distributor close-out to me fav pusher, BRW and I bought a 6-pack apiece. This will kill BRW BUT I wish they'da had 10 cases. Dark ruby with lovely aromatics in the glass that are closer to a mature Bordeaux than a Cali Cab. Supple entry, weighty center and a 4&1/2 lapper finish. A classic blend of the 5 Bordeaux varietals, the % of each not known, this is a kick-patootie bottle of juice. Still with some silky tannins it should peak in 2-4. 93/95. 13.6% alc. 40 on closeout.
