1996 Beaulieu Vinyards Tapestry

This was a deal of a wine when it came out. A Bordeaux style blend from Napa. A $30 wine that tasted like a $75 wine back in the day. It has not held up as well as I would have liked. It was a very strong fruit forward wine but with good balance and a very nice long finish. Today, it has lost some fruit and still has some of the tanin, so it has not really resolved as much as one would like. This is one that would have been better drunk sooner.

Back in awhile.
