1956
It's a treat to be able to open wines with close to 60 years of bottle age. Especially when those wines are from California, as I seldom see wines from the golden state with that much age. Charles Krug Claret is a blend of Bordeaux varietals. Light in color, almost tea like in hue, tobacco, earth, stone, jammy, dark cherry liqueur and whisky aromas greet your nose. With the soft, syrupy, patina of age in texture and the earthy, spicy, cassis filled finish, this could have passed for an old, Left Bank Bordeaux wine in a blind tasting. After 20 minutes, the wine began to lose focus and take on maderized characteristics. Still, for those first 20 minutes, it was great to be able to taste history with friends. 1,842 Views Tasted Jan 28, 2012 |
