21 Grams Vertical: 2005-2016. (Home, Portland OR): 21 Grams Vertical: 2005-2016. Reading my previous note on this wine, it certainly didn't live up to that review this time around. Perhaps it was because of all the others, but this bottle didn't deliver like last time. Yes, it's good, but not 94 points good. Red currant, cranberry, sweet vanilla and oak, with a good zip of acidity running through it. Has years left for sure...likely a 20+ year wine.

Color: inky red Nose:leather, dust, flowers Taste: plum, anise, dust, cough syrup and a floral elements. This took about 30 minutes to really open up and the flavors were deeper and the wine was less hot. A nice full mouthfeel and good finish. Can hold for at least 5 more years.

Popped and poured for NYE. The cork had seeped through in a couple of places, so expectations were low. Thankfully the wine was unaffected and completely delicious! Great cassis fruit, black cherry, fig and tobacco. Quite a bit of gritty sediment. Drink now - 2026.

It was the last wine of the evening and big and bold and young. Very ripe style. Luscious fruit which dominates. A warmer form of wine.
