Harry Potter vibes from the label. Hella hot, face melter at 15.1% ABV. Dark as a dead ripe Santa Rosa Plum skin in the glass. Smells like dried cherries, leather and lava rocks. You can feel the alcohol on the tongue and on the back of the throat. Very fruity. Like a partially desiccated black fruit. Cherry-blueberry-half dried raisin. Reminds me of Italian Amarone, but it’s supposed to just be a regular red. It’s for the Porto lover in your life.

2001 Robert Foley Claret-The virtually perfect 2001 Claret (80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot) is a tour de force in winemaking. It possesses extraordinary concentration, intensity, purity, and ripeness, yet retains an elegant style. With a spectacular perfume of blackberry liqueur, cassis, acacia flowers, graphite, espresso roast, and chocolate as well as a 60-second finish, this long, dense 2001 is still primary, but already fun to drink. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2020.
