Diageo Chateau & Estate Wines, New York NY.
Garnet. Pencil lead, your grandfather’s leather wallet and meat-skin aromas; burnt, smoky herbs like when you throw them into a hot skillet. Cedar and oxtail flavors chisel down to a spinal column of red currant fruit. Not so much mineral as carbonized by its structure. Now – 2025+.
1986 is a wonderful vintage for many things and many people! 🙂
A great birth year. It will last for ages.
