Wow! This just gets better and better! The CT “drink by” date was 2018 but this wine is still going strong. I bumped the end date to 2023 but it might be longer than that - but this was my last bottle. Decanted an hour for starters. Draft root beer mouth feel. Dark ripe fruits, pepper, lemony. Best wine that I’ve had in a while...

Delille Grand Ciel Cabernet Sauvignon Vertical (Lake Stevens, Washington): This had a wonderfully deep, perfumed bouquet of violets, black currant, blackberry, blueberry, raspberry, toast, cocoa, licorice and spice aromas. The palate was complex, layered, silky smooth and dry with flavors of black currant, blackberry, blueberry, raspberry, toast, cocoa and spice. The group’s average score was 93.92 points (#2 WOTN).

Fantastic wine. Anniversary dinner at El Gaucho, about an hour decant, and was perfect. Well integrated, sexy smooth, medium long finish with a great nose. In a beautiful spot right now, can go longer, but no reason to wait. Enjoy
