Beaulieu Vineyard BV Claret 1978 Label Blemish (1.5 L)

***Label Damage***

This gem is a one-off for Beaulieu vineyard. When the winery made the decision to discontinue its 'Burgundy' line (a delicious but inappropriately named blend), the Cabernet grapes needed a home. Hence the Claret, released only in magnum (as is our understanding) and is absolutely delicious today. Smooth, sweet and rich (but NOT overblown nor overdone). This is a steal. It is the first time since release that we have seen it. This is what B.V. was all about. It is the early and darn near perfect signature style.
