Tuesday, February 27, 2024 - Approximately 70 minute decant
Rich, full-bodied, jammy and a lot younger tasting than the year on the label would suggest. But enough about my ex wife! Ha!
Nose: a hint of cedar, mixed with an ever-so-slight note of eucalyptus. Some mushroom-like funkiness and a candied fruit, reminiscent of a well-balanced, aged fine or grand champagne cognac.
Palate: This wine is phenomenal. Cedar, fruit juice, the slightest hint of warm citrus, and definitely notes of tobacco. Am I tasting faint echoes of bubble gum?
Finish: Smooth as silk after it envelopes the palate on the initial entry. Brief, yet memorable, like my first marriage.
