Wednesday, July 15, 2009 - DAWGS July 2009 - 6th Anniversary! (Amici's Signature Italian, Carrollton, TX): WIML??

Tasted July 15, 2009 at an offline.

OK, I'm going to tell you right up front. I just don't get this wine. Dark garnet color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Big nose of currants, light notes of nail polish (flaw?), a really good dusting of white pepper and some somewhat hidden notes of anise. Flavors of melted black licorice with some added notes of berries and a huge bitter finish. Medium to high acidity, firm tannins, full bodied. I guess drink now with plenty of air or continue to hold and hope? As I said, I guess I don't get this wine. It wouldn't crack 90 on the WIML scale if I rated it.
