WTN 1985 Phelps Eisele Vineyard Cab

[John W.]

Bad day at the office. Server sez "hey you want to see Mark (one of our regulars)." Nah, too busy. Mark busts in the kitchen with a glass of some red wine.

Brick red but fading a bit on the tongue. Really, really long legs.

Aromas of cigar leaf, eucalyptus, currant and bell pepper jump out at the lucky consumer.

Still surprisingly youthful, nice tannin structure. Black fruit still prevalent, but fading into the background. Spice and tobacco dominate on the (time it with a calender) finish.

I'd buy this for a dollar.

How are those new bottles going over with the teaming masses?

They were super tasty....

I would only burst into the kitchen after hours....

New bottles?

We only drink old bottles.

If you had something like this, you can burst in any time you want.

My previous post was badly stated. I suppose I've had too many new bottles this evening. Chalk it up to being to anxious about having a few days off (see bluefish thread).

Keep in mind I only have 500 bottles to work with.
