Tuesday, December 31, 2019 - "Compelling"
One taster / drinker's utterance upon having a glass. And probably the most descriptive one can be about 56 year old grape juice.
From an OWC case from a cellar that was never moved, until now. Still had the steel wires on it.
Nose was very old bookshelf, in a loving way. Palate was sensational. Light doesn't hit it - tons of depth but, in the Hugh Johnson phrase, finished like water. Wonder if anyone's ever made the Huge Johnson joke to him.
It was an experience to have - compelling, sensation, whatever - one of a kind moment.
If you have the means, I highly recommend it.
