First of the blind Witchery Wines we are reviewing today.
Dark purplish ruby red that coats the glass. Very tight on nose, took an hour or so to start opening up. Started singing on day two. Layers of purple floral notes, blackberries, mountain berries, sweet spices, solid oak influence, some dark earth and a touch of smoke. Heavy tannins (7.5/10) and reserved. Rich and super dark characteristics, with vanilla, dark cherries, dark cocoa, crushed rocks and earthy too. Medium to medium plus bodied with a long finish. If you have one of these give it some time to open up, if you can then wait a year or two. Drink till 2027. (93+) | Sample, release price is around $175.
