April 13, 2021 - Overall, I like this wine. However, it was a whirlwind of sensations that constantly was making me vary on if this was good or not my style. The nose is full of stewed green bell peppers, but after tasting it showed some of the green bell pepper, but also stewed tomatoes, black cherry, black pepper, smoked game, and some cedar notes. The nose is definitely a turn off to me, but I always like the way in comes together on the palate.
Update - I forgot this was open until a week later. This really came together to become something quite good. Up a point to 90. -
