Viader Vineyards Proprietary Red Wine 1990
Howell Mountain, Napa Valley, California, United StatesOld mature dried herbs and black fruit nose with a touch of Brett. Lovely old matronly mid palate whose best component is the acidity. More twiggy, forest floor notes and some volatility. All in all still hanging in at 23 years of age. You can taste the vestiges of an old cork; drinking history. Served with country style duck terrine pickled Pemberton beets, house moustarda and Mizuna. 68/32 cabernet sauvignon/cabernet franc.Tasted: 22 April 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:US | $145.00 | 750ml | average retail |
