1986 Beaulieu Vineyards, Cabernet Sauvignon, Georges De Latour, Private Reserve

Medium dark. Cherry with vegie overtones on the nose. Cherry and green beans are the forward fruit flavors, high acid, very soft tannins, and a long fruity finish. This is the 50th anniversary bottling of the of the Georges De Latour Private Reserve. The year 1986 was generally regarded as a good vintage in California, but this is a very disappointing wine. Not rated.
