1985 Rutherford Hill Cabernet Sauvignon XVS Spring Lane - USA, California, Napa Valley (2/4/2012)
P&P. Cork was slightly depressed, but pulled out easily with about 1/3 soaked through, while still looking new. Funky nose of damp earth, worn leather, and slight hints of mint. Holy wow, this wine is alive on the palate, and it’s dark. Still showing dark fruits and currants, lots of minerals, more leather, into a resolved tannin and slightly chalky finish. Delicious snd fresh. Glad I have 2 more bottles left, this was an excellent treat at the $18 tariff…surprise qpr of the year? (91 pts.)
