A wonderful dinner last night of boeuf bourgignon and a Peller Estates Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 - a mouthful of a title and unfortunately a bit past its prime. Still a wonderful nose and lots of fruit, but a hint of that ready-for-vinegar type of acidity. Not so much as to be unpleasant, but enough to say, "I'm glad I drank this now instead of waiting another six months." So if you've got the 2004, drink away! If you're hanging on to the 2005, I'd dare say it's ready to drink, too, before it starts the downward spiral. Unfortunately, I didn't have a 2005 in my cellar to compare.
Bottoms up!
