Tea tree oil, licorice, soy sauce, leather, craisins, and a dozen more. Tasting history here. Clearly this kinda wine needs maturity. #maturewine #mowine #norton — 8 years ago

2010 Stone Hill 'Cross J' #Missouri #Mowine #Norton @stonehillwinery Reserve level. Dark and smokey. Ripe black cherry, black raspberry, currant mixed with bacon fat, leather and black pepper. Velvety and fresh. Still a young wine but in 10 years this will be amazing. #wine #sommelier#sommelier#sommelier #somm #unique #obscure — 10 years ago

2005 Chrysalis Virginia Norton. Dark cherry, plum, wild berry, dried fig, saddle leather, baking spice. Soft and silky texture. Almost has a Rhone-like meatiness with the fruitiness of a Penedes red. #wine #vawine #norton #virginia — 10 years ago

Maybe didn't stand up to the age as much as one would hope, but still fascinating. These root stocks have been living in MO since the civil war! #oldvine #MOwines #norton — 8 years ago

2010 Les Bourgeois #Missouri #Mowine #Norton. Not overly expressive. Subtle black cherry, boysenberry and slight forest floor. It's possible there's low level of TCA on this wine. STOP USING COMPOSITE CORKS. #wine #sommelier#sommelier#sommelier #somm #boring #TCA — 10 years ago

2006 Westphalia #missouri #mowine #Norton Reserve. Holy sweaty horse saddle! Loads of Brett. Dark cherry, boysenberry, wet forest floor plus hints of clove and vanilla. Soft and silky. Just a hair too much Brett and some volatile acidity however and a tad fizzy. #wine #sommelier#sommelier#sommelier #somm #unique #obscure — 10 years ago

2010 Chrysalis 'Locksely' #Virginia #Vawine #Norton. Smells like amarone! Super ripe dried cherry, wild berry, red plum mixed with black pepper, graphite and vanilla spice. Firm and velvety. This thing needs like 15-20 years. #wine #sommelier#sommelier#sommelier #somm #america — 10 years ago

2005 Chrysalis #Virginia #vawine #Norton. Seriously one of the best Nortons I've had. Loads of sweet black cherry, plum, fig plus clove anise and hint of leather. Lively and fresh. Silky finish. #wine #sommelier#sommelier#sommelier #somm #unique #obscure — 10 years ago

2005 Davenport #Kansas #Norton. Lean style which is unusual as Norton isn't usually a lean wine. Slightly underripe. Tart dark cherry, boysenberry and plum jam. Hints of leather and forest floor. Clean and soft. Not bad. #wine #sommelier#sommelier#sommelier #somm #unique #obscure — 10 years ago
