WTC Wine

Tonight I sit across from a duo of vintage beauty. Opposite in many ways. Not often shared together. But at this table, there are three persons and six glasses.

Pride Mountain 2003 Reserve Cabernet. Vanilla streams in the middle of rich, sweet, nutty tobacco that subside to leave a residual flavor revealing youth; the youth of this extremely powerful wine.

Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 2003 Pauillac. A nose of fruit flowers and a hint of gruyere gives way to supple, silky notes that bring forth the simple iron plow that first cut through the ancient soil yielding fruit for rustic, truly french oak.
