Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, November 1, 2022 - Bordeaux tasting - with a few pirates: Bringing this to a BDX tasting is like having Marilyn Manson as an opening act at a Celine Dion concert. Heavy metal devil horns brings the ripe fruit, the heat, and… well, the ripe fruit. Yet, this might have been one of the most balanced Materiums I’ve had in some time. The acidity kept the core moving without ever pausing too long to become burdensomely heavy or syrupy. I mean, it’s heavy and syrupy, but it wasn’t stuck in its tracks or so sticky I couldn’t pry my palate from the top of my mouth necessarily.

It is, however, pretty much like chewing on a Tootsie Roll immediately after having a sashimi scallop. Did I like it? Heck ya I liked it… but I could feel my face melting as the sweat of a thousand shames leached from the pores of my past regrets with every sip. Blackberry pie, blackberry crust, blackberry syrup, blackberries, and black berries. It’s an elixir laxative for King Kong’s 18-year-old grape-ape son on a heavy Taco Tuesday.
