Saturday, January 4, 2020 - Wines that F**k to kick off the new year (Bob's, Lincoln Park, Chicago, IL): Nose: Finally the nose is open and this time it's fully ready for business filling the glass with black cherries, raspberries, blackberries, licorice, tobacco, mesquite, hot stones, violets, leather, and black currants. There is excellent depth with an emerging savory quality to it.

Taste: The feel is Medium/full bodied with silky, medium+ tannins and medium acidity. There is a good bit of weight to the feel but it is also well balanced with black cherries, raspberries, blackberries, mesquite, tobacco, leather, hot stones, and violets.

Overall: I've been waiting for a long time to come across a bottle of 05 Beaucastel that is drinking. And I'm completely glad it finally happened as it was utterly worth it. There is a real dark and searching side to it along with a great, lengthy finish.
