1987 Beualieu Vineyard George De Latour Private Reserve

A nice hard to find bottle. Label shows show wear. Bottle fill to the bottom of the neck. Capsule in good shape.

The 1987 vintage of Beaulieu's signature wine is deeper and richer than the 1986, full of lovely cedar and mint aromas and fresh-tilled soil on the nose. A tightly wound wine upon bottling, this needed time for the acidity and tannin to integrate so that the mint, mineral and sweet berry fruit could really come through. 91 points Wine Spectator: "Generous, soft and big, with a dark ruby color and mint, plum and smoke character. Full-bodied and very velvety, with lots of ripe berry and chocolate flavors and a long, long finish.--Georges de Latour Private Reserve vertical.

PREVIEW: Will go on Auction at Ebay January 3, 2008.
