1986 Beaulieu Vineyard BV Georges de Latour '50th Anniversary' Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Spanish grainy tannins and loads of"Nearly opaque black ruby violet color. Pronounced, herbal, licorice vanilla and dark cherry aromas, fragrant and explosive intensity. Full bodied, with a thick chewy texture, ripe black and red fruits, firm but supple tannins and no sense of jamminess or over ripeness. Ripe tannins and solid acidity provide underpinning. Hints of licorice and mineral, as well as bittersweet cocoa, show up in the very long finish." Winemaker Notes
