Long-lasting on the palate
I clearly underrated this last year
closing with a pleasantly bitter tinge and gently grippy tannins that frame the experience so well
While not a second wine in the traditional sense
The tannins are extremely polished and refined
2001 Beringer Vineyards Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 3L Wine Long-lasting on the palate"Just hitting late adolescence, this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon cuvee exhibits an opaque dark purple color along with a beautiful, smoky, sweet black currant, licorice, truffle, toast and underbrush scented nose. With fabulous concentration, great intensity and tremendous purity, this voluptuously textured, full bodied classic is one of the all time great Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignons." 97 100 Wine Advocate
