Thursday, March 27, 2014 - Book Club - old world (Maro Grill, Laguna Beach): Blind - guessed right bank merlot. Oh so close... Got the merlot and thought there might be some Cabernet franc so I turned right instead of left.
Excellent nose. I was dried shiitake mushrooms and moss, loved playing with it. Very dark color. Licorice and anise notes and edgy tannins. Long sweet oak finish.
