Trapiche Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2004
For several months, my wine consumption has decreased -- an unfortunate fact, considering this blog was originally supposed to be regular commentary and review of wine. Simply put, the odd bottle I drink here or there means I have very little to write about wine.In a way, wine has recently become more of a special occasion drink -- or at least a blue moon kind of a drink. However, a couple of weeks ago, I opened a bottle of Trapiche Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2004, which had been lingering on my little wine rack for some time. As I recall, the bottle was a gift from Rawl for helping he and Linda move into their house.
Upon pouring my first glass and sticking my nose in, I got whiff of a dark, smoky smell that was somewhat pleasant. The smoke carried over into the taste, but was joined by black current. With a dark, plum colour, the wine was slightly tannic, and I quite enjoyed the two glasses I had that night.
I sealed up the bottle with my trusty vaccuum and put it away until the next night, when I finished it off. This is the unfortunate thing about wine, though. Once it's been exposed to oxygen, it's really best to drink until it's all gone. It's never quite the same the next day.
