Saturday, September 7, 2013 - Black color in the glass with red/purple edges
Smells of fruit bowl, hot summer day, asphalt, and blackberry
Tastes of blackberry liquor liqueur hot alcohol, tar, and maybe tobacco. Dusty tannins through the finish.
I like this wine a lot. However, it could be from anywhere. Maybe even California, except that CA doesn't make very much wine this interesting. Nowhere near this price point anyway.
I will buy this producer/label again. Keep in mind that these bottles benefit from a few years in the cellar.
