Castor is not impressed but I am! Luckily I pick the wines. Lovely nose of licorice, spice, deep back fruits, anise, red licorice, terrific lift to the aromas. Deep, rich and ripe with amazing purity and freshness. Lovely cut to the tannins. Good length. Black fruits, spice and licorice. Lovely.

Jul 1st, 2019Nose has ripe black cherry, black licorice, ripe plum, but a little hot (13.5%) even after about one hour decant.
Palate has mellow, yet ripe cherry, coats your mouth, but still the alcohol is distracting.
Maybe another year, or a full day of airing out.
Notes will be updated.
24 Hour Update: Alcohol heat has mostly disapated on the nose, palate is still mellow but picking up a savory herb note to the mid palate.

Fruity and earthy. Some Italian herbs. A touch of Italian sun. ☀️
Also it was like $17 so that’s awesome.
