Product Description
Stag's Leap Wine Cellars
Pouring this wine is like letting a genie out of the bottle: it gets bigger and bigger as the wine's depth and breadth gradually reveal themselves. In the nose, you'll notice berries, rosemary, and cardamon, while the palate fills with bright and creamy flavors of black plum, black olive, truffle, even a hint of chocolate-covered cherry. The smooth, very approachable entry reveals a luscious core of fruit down the center, while additional flavors fan out as the wine evolves in the mouth. The very long finish resonates like beautiful music-this wine just doesn't stop! The 2001 CASK 23 promises to age exceedingly well, but enjoy it now with well-aged prime rib, bacon-wrapped quail, or a selection of artisan cheeses (rich Stilton, Gorgonzola, Morbier)accompanied by a spoonful of fig compote.
