TN: 2010 Schrader RBS and Krug Grande Cuvee

  • 2010 Schrader Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon RBS Beckstoffer To-Kalon Vineyard - USA, California, Napa Valley, Oakville (11/29/2014)
    Buddy generously brought this over. Popped and took a small pour. Very little on the nose and tight and tannic. This screamed for a decant, so did a splash decant. An hour in, started to come around, but was still a bit reticent. 2 hours in, finally showing it’s stuff. Obviously young, but great concentration of of dark fruit. Nicely balanced, great complexity…just a really fantastic bottle of wine. If you open this, open it early and give it hours of air.
  • NV Krug Champagne Brut Grande Cuvée - France, Champagne (11/29/2014)
    From a 375ml. Ah yes, the familiar house style of Krug. Yeasty, bready, powerful. Citrus, apples, just plain delicious.
