1974 Charles Krug Peter Mondavi Family Vintage Selection Cabernet Sauvignon Italian New This is a big wine

This is a big wine even by the outsized standards of a great Clos de la Roche yet the balance is faultless

fresh mushrooms and spring flowers

"About as good as it gets across the board

and Roussanne

has a classic nose of orchard fruit

1974 Charles Krug Peter Mondavi Family Vintage Selection Cabernet Sauvignon Italian New This is a big wine"Showing an orange edge to the ruby color. A soft and fresh old wine with currant and plum character. Redwood and mahogany, too. Medium bodied with round tannins. Soft and bright. Plenty of sous bois and bark, as well as candied currants and green olives. Still very fresh!" Review Date: 2022; 96 100 James Suckling
