Thursday, March 22, 2007 - Once Upon a Vine XIII - New Orleans, LA by Martin Wine Cellar (Pavillion of Two Sisters): Now this is spectacular. My notes say "Maybe not 98 points, but this is really GREAT!!" Big, rich, nose full of cherry and cassis liquor with an herbal, menthol streak underneath. Palate is very full bodied and expands exponentially in the mouth.. Tannins are giant behemoths, but are held nicely in check by fresh acidity and gobs and gobs of juicy flavorful fruit. Blackberry and raspberry jam, boysenberry, toast and vanilla with undercurrents of cedar, earth, and toasty oak. Plenty of Mocha Chocolatte on the finish for the Starbucks fans. For $39.99, this is a no brainer. A great wine that will be outstanding in a few years. 93-94 points
