1991 Beaulieu Vineyard, Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, Bottle (750ml)

"Dark red with ruby tones. Complex, expressive nose offers dark fruits, licorice, exotic spices, herbs, minerals and tobacco, plus a sexy note of oak char. Then quite dry and classic in a claret-like style, conveying a silky texture and lovely subtle sweetness if not quite the concentration or thickness of the more evolved 1990. Finishes with plush tannins, noteworthy vibrancy and impressive rising length. This is a point today but should hold for a while. Again, this bottle was altogether different from--and cleaner than--two that I tasted last year as part of a 1991 horizontal. (13.3% alcohol; 3.42 pH; 6.3 g/l acidity; aged for 20 months in a blend of American and French oak barrels) (Drink between 2019-2030)" ST for VM
