- dandy_don - 03-09-2005 I guess word of my developing taste for wine got out over the holidays. I received bottles of the following cabs: Robert Mondovi 2001 Stags Leap 2001 Chateau Souverain 1995 Meridian 1995 Would appreciate any comments particulary if I should drink the older ones now or will the keep a few years. Thanks in advance - winoweenie - 03-10-2005 Hi DD. Best to plan on drinking the 95s' ASAP. The Meridian is not vinified for long ageing and unless it's the Proprietors Reserve neither is the Souverien. Both of the 01s can be enjoyed now or laid down for 2-4 years. WW - wineguruchgo - 03-13-2005 Both years were great in California. Yet I agree that you should drink the 95's now and save the 01's for a special occasion. Or - drink them all now! I have a feeling you're not going to be impressed with the Meridian. I would drink that one first. |
