1993 Adelsheim Elizabeth's Reserve

Written By: Michael Zimberg on Tuesday, March 18, 2008

I've enjoyed many versions of Lizzie's reserve in the past. This bottle is a disappointment however. It appears to be a perfectly aged bottle, with great fill and a near ideal cork (no mold, 3/4 wine stains). It is lightly colored, light bodied, acidic, and tastes mostly like wet cardboard. There's a stewed tomato component behind everything else. Since I didn't try this wine it its youth, not sure if it just isn't great wine. I paid $25 on winebid.

Good suggestion JS12. I will keep it in mind.pandaa58 I wonder the same thing. The bottle certainly was not corked, but I'd like to try another '93 sometime.

Do you eat any of these with food (if so, could you note that as it can affect a rating).Cheers Mikey.

Ouch, tough break. I wonder if it was the bottle or just a bad vintage?
