April 29, 2013 - Last week I finished reading Terry Theise's "Reading Between the Wines". A couple of things he wrote struck chords with me as I drank this lovely wine. First was his feeling that instead of demystifying wine, we should RE-mystify it. He also talks about having a sense of place in the taste of wine. This wine, while certainly not the greatest I've had, does both things. With moderate alcohol and leathery notes, it's a classic left-bank Bordeaux. Place established. As for the mysticism, all you have to do is think of all the polished fruit-forward monsters we've all had and compare them to this drink, which is clearly crafted for accompanying food, as well as for relaxation and pleasure. The finish gets more pleasant until it finally vanishes, and by then you're ready for another bite of food or another sip of wine. It doesn't require rigorous analysis--just enjoy a very good example of how very good cabernet-based wines can be.
