1981 David Bruce Pinot Noir
We opened my last bottle of the David Bruce PN from 1981.
Not sure what to expect, this wine turned out to surprise us. Eminently drinkable, the expected brassy edge of age was there, but sufficient fruit carried it well. This 31 year-old bottle was much better than we suspected. Alcohol 12.8%. David Bruce Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir Estate Bottled Vintage 1981. The price tag, still on the bottle: $12.50 -- probably purchased from Beltramo's Wines in Menlo Park. ** Next adventu the 1970 and 1973 Mouton. The '73 has the Picasso label, which is probably its best characteristic. The '70 was Marc Chagall. Probably over the hill (like me!) More tasting notes later. earle * |
