Friday Night Blues...

It was an ok night last night... life happens, you sometimes just have to go along with it. 2002 Plumpjack Cabernet Sauvignon - whoa... what a bottle! Deep purple with NO rim variation at all (maybe a little light purple on the rim), but incredible black fruit, some sweet vanilla, toasted coffee beans, and nice cinnamon. Great wine. 1999 Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon... our last bottle. This bottle was showing so Bordeaux-like last night. Had quite a eucalyptus nose to it with some cedar starting to come in. Beautiful wine, it's my favorite. 1995 Chateau Talbot (half-bottle)... showing very, very well right now. Pretty cigar-box and cedar just coming through with some nice sweet-cherry and black plums. More to come tomorrow.
