Saturday, January 29, 2011 - ok imagine a dark chocolate covered blackberry blueberry licorice pie with a thin layer of vanilla buttercream...smoked...in a bottle!!! I have to say that were my palate is right now, not 6 months ago, and maybe not 6 months from now, this is the best wine I have ever had! On the nose I get strong dark fruits. There is a noticeable smokiness and a little oaky, licorice spice. On the palate I get tons of blackberry and plum and mid way through some spicy vanilla. On the finish there is more fruit and a hint of alcohol that is kept in check by the overall deliciousness of this wine. This fruit driven bombastic wine is were I am in my wine tastes. BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!
