Oh, my! After having tasted this last week at a Tobin James winemaker tasting in Tucson, had to get several bottles. I never was much of a dark chocolate fan...but with this wine I've changed my mind. Higher alcohol than most LHs I've had before, it wasn't cloying or overly sweet. Had it with a bit of Dove dark chocolate after a dinner of steamed mussels with tarragon and scallions. A simple, yet exquisitely elegant and decadent way to finish a lovely dinner.

tart, unapproachable, zero fruit, virtually undrinkable...in fact this went down the sink. perhaps a bad bottle but cork was fine. big disappointment
