1978 Mayacamus

[winoweenie]

Found this lil` orphan whist stashing the wines from Costa and Vintage wines in San Diego. Like he had radar my buddy Mike dropped by so we opened this sucker. No-one could possibly guess the age of this beauty looking at the glass. ABSOLUTELY opaque with a dark ruby rim. We let it set in the glasses for 15 minutes and this beauty of Travers filled the room with a spicy, blackberry, cherry aroma you could almost spoon. Great entry, a bell-ringing middle palate and the fabled 5-Lapper finish. We actually sipped this one bottle for over 2 hours. This by 2 dudes who normally knock off the 1st jug in 15 minutes. What a bottle. I actually think this could hold its own with the 78 Diamond Creek Lake, and it sure can against the regular bottlings. Wish I`d laid more of this sucker down. ( I say that every time I finish the last bottle of ennythin`) Mike now expects me to open sumpin like this every time he`s here. Back to reality. winoweenie
