Night 1 of the Fall WNH event in San Antonio. What a killer start to the extended weekend, all courtesy to Shawn and Jennifer for hosting! Tonight was Italian wines.

Gorgeous nose! Wow. Candied cranberry sauce. Perfect on the palate with cedar, and a beet juice finish. Killer bottle from
@Mike R ...think this won nose of the night for me, Mike!

Medium ruby hue. Notes of red fruit, licorice, mushroom, and earthy. Medium tannins and high acidity. Smooth and silky at 12 years of age, with an earthy finish.

Beautiful plum red color, medium acidity, medium tannins, aromas of oak, flavors of ripe plum, tobacco.
First taste right when I opened the bottle was delicious as the wine opened up it became more layered and interesting. Would buy again.

Found this bottle I bot many moons ago and decided to give it a test run...glad I did. Not great but really good after decanting for over an hour.
