Lot 452 Details
SPOTTSWOODE CABERNET SAUVIGNON 1992

Napa Valley.
u. 2 x bn. 1 x vts. 1 x scraped label.

This was a classic Napa vintage with abundant fruit and high yields. Spottswoode made a magnificent example. With a dark ruby/purple/garnet-colored wine to the rim, this wine is stunningly rich, with floral-infused blackcurrant and blackberry fruit, a hint of chocolate and toast. Terrific aromatics are followed by an equally impressive full-bodied wine, with stunningly sweet, velvety tannins, enormous fruit and stature, and a long, long finish. This is brilliant and still somewhat of a late adolescent with at least 20 years of further drinking ahead of it. August 2016 WA 99

3 bts.    per lot $800 - $1,000
