Lot 167 Details
BERINGER CABERNET SAUVIGNON PRIVATE RESERVE 1998

Napa Valley.
cracked capsule

From the Tre Colline, Chabot and St. Helena Home vineyards as well as tiny components from the Bancroft Ranch and Marston Ranch sites, the 1998 Private Reserve is fully mature, but should keep for another 5-10 years. More French than Napa in style, this earthy, spicy, foresty, herbal-scented wine reveals sweet plum, cola, cedar and mint notes, a healthy dark plum/garnet color, a medium-bodied mouthfeel, and lots of mineral earthiness (a characteristic of this cooler year).

1 9 ltr.    per lot $1,200 - $1,400

Realised: $1,800
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
