1996 Bordeaux VS 1996 Napa Cabernet Saturday, March 14th 7:30pm - A Study of 30 Year Old Wines

 Wine is wonderful stuff. But so many people are put off by the snobbery of it.

John Cleese

Or they simply can’t afford the good stuff…and you don’t have to be a billionaire to drink well at the Wine Watch we have great wines at every price point.

We are doing serious scientific work with the 1996 vintage and tonight we are killing two birds with one stone and will study 1996 Bordeaux VS Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon to compare the wines from the Napa Valley to the great wines of Bordeaux.  

Join us as we experience these 1996 vintage reds to see if Bordeaux is drinking better than Napa at 30 years of age.  The fee for this tasting which includes dinner and gratuity is $495 + tax.  To make reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com. Please let us know when you make your reservation if you have any food allergies and Chef Toni will be glad to accommodate you.

(98 Points) A brilliant year for Left Bank Bordeaux. This was stubborn in its youth and took time to open, but now stands as one of the great all-time vintages of Cos, in my opinion. It delivers still, at 25 years old, just utterly delicious, with complex slate, pencil lead, graphite, undergrowth, black truffle flavours and a crushed-mint finish. It is still juicy, with perfectly integrated fine tannins and a ton of personality. (JA)  Decanter, Review Date: 04/2021
