A
blend from some of the serious grape varietals of 2017, this nearly 5-year old
beauty is one to enjoy with quality people and food. With an almost opaque color, the fruit
forwardness is very transparent with rich blackberries and a hint of cigar. Let
it sit for about an hour and relish the aromas filling the glass before that initial
sip. The flavor packs some good dark chocolate and a little bit of spice here
and there. The acids are moderate, and the tannins are still firm, but not
overpowering. Sitting around for five years, it is drinking quite well now.
Hold if you wish, but do not miss out on this jewel right now if you can spare
an extra bottle. Worthy of enjoyment today. Santé!
Wine Of The Moment is just that. A moment of trying out a new bottle of wine and sharing our thoughts and impressions. There is no planned wine bottle that is to be opened or set time that it will be tasted. It is what ever just happens to be opened...for the moment. On occasion, we may also post our feedback on new wineries that we have visited as well as unique cheeses. So, pull up your own plate of cheese, crackers, and fruit and enjoy these discussions.
