May 19, 2019 - From .375
Aired three hours during gAme 5 versus the accursed St. Louis fucking blues..
A great call though, as the almost black ruby beverage easily halved my disappointment with the Sharks, who missed a few first period opportunities, and then started circling not bait, not downed pilots, dying humpbacks or the ACCURSÈD AND BORING LUNKHEAD “STYLE” OF HOCKEY -that cynically tries to fill the zone with giant slabs of guys too slow to play lax St. Louis fucking blues, but rather, to circle the big proverbial porcelain bowl...
KO nose of bdx dust, raspberry liqueur, violin rosin, cedar, Margaux herbs and violets and mmmmmarzipan. Completely seamless— others found it difficult to pick out flavors so I withdrew the offer of another taste and I guess I got it except for “glove leather and blueberries and or strawberries” but those aren’t quite right. It’s a note more like the black cherry put in coke. That raspberry liqueur is sweeter than any raspberry.
Let’s call it BLACK CHEERY.
Im upset I sold any of this. I predict it will become one of the greatest wines in history. And I mean in the next ten years, too.
But I won’t sandbag. It’s a remarkable and stunning wine of power and also impeccable balance.
Fresh and simply delicious in the palate. Rich black cherry compote, herbs, rasp, earth and smoky cedar notions. Finish of 50-60 seconds. Her resolve is dry and reminds you that the best is a half decade out. Easily.
The 1990 Haut Brion is not jealous of this wine, all things considered, but it’s makers would immediately agree that this drink just tastes better.
Or they’d be lying outright.
Spectacular.
98-99 points.
Ready from .375 with some air .
