Still really nice, but flattening out a little. One bottle left after this one. Corks were from my first order made with Lafitte and they were a little 'aged' when I bottled the last few batches with 'em.Hows it holding up?
Interestingly, the longer it was open, the more the tannins came through.Ah ha....
It is nice that you can "do a vertical," at least, after a fashion. Good stuff.My '11's have plateaued for sure (The FVW Trip). '12's still need some air but not much. '13's need more air for sure. All had a dose of Tannin FT Rouge pre ferment.
Thanks for the info.^^^
Another great Spanish wine at Costco for a crazy good price.
I found this description of the "Caracol"
"Grapes: 55% Monastrell; 25% Cabernet Sauvignon; 20% Syrah. Tannin: Med. Acidity: Med. Notes: Uncertified organic. 60 year old vines. Partially oak aged. This wine is based on grapes from 60 year old vines of the local variety M"
That has not made it to my Costco yet but will watch for it.
I did get a couple of the Pruno Magnums the other day, which in past years has been fantastic and reasonably priced. They need a couple more years before drinking based on past experience, but highly recommended if they get to your Costco.
I know, but was dying to try this wine.Looks like a winner for that price but I do have to question your choice of what wine to drink with fish! LOL
