Drink it now to 2018+

I have Caymus Special Selection in my cellar back to some of the historic wines made by Chuck Wagner’s father in the early 1970s

Aromas of mint and eucalyptus with chocolate notes

with beguiling scents of blackberry

viscous quality to the mousse that swathes the palate

Cardenal Mendoza Solera Gran Reserva (750ml) Dolcetto Drink it now to 2018+No wallflower, this one. The intensity of the bouquet starts right with the pour as waves of prunes and raisins rise from the glass; air contact stirs deeper aromas, most notably orange rind, peppermint and roasted nuts. This rich, heavyweight brandy features layers of flavor, including cocoa, toffee, caramel, cream Sherry and oaky vanilla. Finishes as large and robust as it started. Wine Enthusiast 90 95 points
