Georges de Latour Privat Reserve 2018 (Beaulieu Vineyard)

Drink it now or cellar for up to 25 years. It is recommended to decant it for at least an hour. Beaulieu Vineyard is one of Napa Valley's most prestigious producers, with a tradition spanning over 100 years. The estate produces wines of exceptional quality that are a pure expression of the variety of the region's viticultural terroirs and the varietal character of the grapes, using state-of-the-art technology and traditional winemaking methods. Winner of multiple awards, Georges de Latour Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve is widely considered Napa Valley's most iconic red, a wine of extraordinary complexity and evolutionary capacity that takes its name from the founder of Beaulieu Vineyards. The first edition of the wine was released on the market in 1940. The blend includes a majority of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, coming from the western bank of Rutherford, with a small addition of Petit Verdot. The finished wine is aged in 95% new French oak for twenty months. The wine shows an elegant garnet color with orange reflections. The aromatic profile is rich and complex, with fruity notes of plum and currant, floral aromas of violet and light nuances of sweet spices. On the palate, the wine is rich and complex, bold and generous. Its deep taste and full structure make it perfect with aged cheeses, lamb Tagine, and beef steak.
