Saturday, September 14, 2019 - Winebar [2 Rosés, 2 Whts, & 8 Reds] from 09/13/19 + 8 Shared Bottles (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): Dr. Tom, THANK you for sharing a wine that I never knew existed! :)
Supposedly mainly C.S. from 2 or 3 vintages, bottled in August ’16;
N: Attractive SMOKE, almost bacon fat, with notes of toast atop ripe berries
P: Med body; NICE, almost swtish frt met by an astringent pucker which stays in touch with the init frt as it fairly seamlessly evolves into a very LONG, elegantly BALANCED finish with an alluring tangy/swtness to the fairly innocuous, yet firming, dusty tannins. Very, VERY nicely done for now & (safely) through '23. 14.5% ABV; My EXC/EXC+. 95 pts The Wine Front (Gary Walsh), 93 pts Decanter (Rose), and 16 (9/1/16) & 16.5/20 (8/17/18) Jancis Robinson. [Check with this vendor if interested in their competitive price.]
