September 13, 2009 - The Sunday New York Times arrived today, in roughly 2 or so pounds of glory. Included in this weeks edition was the New York Times Style Magazine, a 100 pages dedicated to stylish and conspicuous consumption. If restraint is the new style, you would not know that by this edition. I know that there are those who really care about fashion, otherwise this insert would not exist. However, I am glad that in the wine world I have never run across someone who does not enjoy a glass of well crafted wine, regardless of cost or providence.
Still red to red purple in color despite being 6 years old. Nose of rhubarb, orange, black fruits, and some funk. Taste of orange and an old time soda fountain cherry vanilla cola phosphate. Still lots of fruit, but the acid was slightly more powerful. About mid way through drinking the bottle my sulfite allergy meter went off, so I know the bottle received a health dose. A lot of concentrated fruit at the front of the palate on the finish. A wine that was just parts and never really achieved a sum. My wife and I were trying to find a summation for the wine. She said perfect for a really good sangria and I agreed.4,066 views
