Sean Thackery Pleiades XII

Earlier this evening I was down in my cave, looking for older vintages for the bachelor party, and came across a bottle of Pleiades XII. I only have two of them, but the label was so rotten, that I pulled it. Jamie came over and saw the bottle, and suggested we open it. I said OK, wine is meant to be drunk.

Off the cork it tasted a lot like the XV - big charcoal, junior mints, hints of oak, small berries - and seemed like it could go for awhile. After a bit, it started to close out and get a little medicinal. Still super tasty, this is the only wine that I bought in the first few months when we moved into our house that has been here the entire time.
