Still a good deep, dark color. Vibrant bouquet of blueberries, grilled strawberries and fresh herbs. Very powerful. Has that essential sweetness that characterizes fine wines at full maturity. Warm and inviting. Combines the robust body of Zinfandel and Petite Sirah with the delicate texture of a Pinot Noir. Delicious plus.
Hello, Fred! Enjoyed reading your note (found courtesy of Tom Wark). Around the year 2000, I found myself seated next to Paul Draper at a Ridge event, and mentioned that my all-time favorite of his was the '91 Geyserville. He smiled and told me to keep it in the cellar -- that it would age "forever". Apparently, he was right.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. Yes, the 91 Geyserville is beautiful and in no danger of declining at this point. Luckily I have another bottle or two of the 91 and several of the 92, which was even better the last time I tried it. I was worried about letting them go too long, but great wines never die and this one is not fading away.
