Saturday, November 23, 2019 - 4th Saturday Brown Bagger (T&L's): Double blind. Massive and inky- stains the glass and one's teeth. One dimensional but enjoyable bouquet dominated by barbeque sauce- it's sweet and smoky, and a touch meaty. Like a wine glass full of KC Masterpiece or something along those lines. Develops a buttered popcorn note with air which, for me, is a bit distracting. Firm, with searing tannin and ripe black fruit. This is bigger than any SQN I've had, so I guessed petite sirah. I can see where this has fans, and I suppose this would be great with a brisket, but it is not something I would seek out to drink on a regular basis- just something to scratch that certain itch I get on occasion (but that's why I have SQN, so...).
