1997 Beaulieu Rutherford

[winoweenie]

Thot for sure I'd posted on this EXTREMELY well-maade bottle many times as my records show I've gone thru 28 bottles since release. I'm happy to report that her be alive, has some kick left and still mite expand its' horizon. Great nose from the deep ruby juice. On the palate the dense red and black cherry fruit is joined by sweet spice and just a tad of the R-Dust. Some black olive hits as this beauty goes thru the center and the 4+ lapper finish gives this hummer creditability as almost classic. 91/94 13.8% alc. 16 by the box. WW
