Nose is smoky tomato. Blows off quickly. Some dried shitake mushroom.
Palate is fresh. Juicy old cherries. Big fruit. Really delicious. Kinky spices. Nutmeg. Cinnamon. Very interesting.
15.5% alcohol?!?
Lets see how it goes.
2 hours in nose is pleasant heirloom tomato. Palate is darker cherries. Big. Spice. Juicy. A big wine girding for a knife fight.
Day 2 major tomato on the nose. Yucky tomato juice. Better yesterday. — 3 years ago
Pop and pour yesterday. Notes from day 2 open. On the nose: soft smoke and chalk, apple, lemon, a hint of reduction...lovely nose. On the palate: chalk, sour apple, lemon, loads of wet stone...fantastic acidity and good density...maybe my favorite incarnation of this wine so far... — 4 years ago
Not only is this a weekend to remember those who have lost their lives for us, but it’s a sad weekend for me. I lost a longtime friend to cancer yesterday. We went to high school together in Iceland and we both served in the Navy. Normally this would be our weekend to get together and hang out at the pool, drinking beer and listening to 80’s music. RIP Faye I’ll miss you my friend — 3 years ago

Decanted yesterday around 3:00 and we drank small glass at Dinner around 8:00. We drank the rest with some cheese and bread around 1:00PM today. I don’t think I have ever drank a wine so smooth and flavorful. — a month ago
