1999 Freemark-Abbey Bosche

[winoweenie]

Opened another of these at the club yesterday along with the 99 Napa from this producer. BRW and Mike joined me and all agreed this pair could kill every duck on the pond. The Napa looked like a 2009 in the glass but the nose said Aged, classy, yummski juice. This blend of Cab, Merlot, Cab Franc, and petite Verdot from Estate vineyards has some serious muscles. Noted that it had a solid 4+ lapper finish. probably close to the Bosche in scoring except for the 34 per tag. This gives the value a solid 92. The nose on the Bosche seemed to have rounded out but was so pretty neither of us did anything but slurp up the liquid. Can assure all that both bottles would even penetrate the Drewskis' thick tongue. WW
