So here's the worst kind of wine. Rich guy who grew up in Monaco decides he wants a winery, has a racing fetish so names his wine '500 horsepower', hires top talent to make his wine (Phil Titus of Chappellet), and buys the heaviest wine bottle ever made to put it in and prices it at $125 per. Recipe for disaster, right? Can't be any good.
It was good.
2018 Nellcôte Cabernet Sauvignon 500 Chevaux Napa Valley
Cassis, black currant, violets, chocolate, espresso. Lush and harmonious in the best ways possible. Sleek but traditional. No heat even though 14.8% abv. Decanting not required; absolutely loved it.
