Still hanging in there but the big nature of this wine doesn’t lend itself to aging very well. Cherry, celery salt, tobacco, spice and medium acid.

Wednesday Wine Committee hosted by Dan. 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine. Tasted blind as usual.
Seemed over the hill to me. Little bit of burnt rubber on the nose, which took me to South African Cabernet or Chinon. Not much acidity. Good bit of pepper. Old black cherry. Not sure how common this is for the vintage.

Big and polished and round. Very deep flavor with a touch of cola. A bit big but, of it’s type, successful.
