Wednesday, December 25, 2019 - Christmas Wines; 12/22/2019-12/25/2019 (Minneapolis, MN): The new 3 hour review.
Hour 1: Big fruit featuring plum, cherry, raspberries along with floral and spice. Very concentrated and probably the best of the 15's I have tasted. 92 points
Hour 2: This bottle is on fire. Plum, mulberries, cherry, spice, floral and coffee beans. Concentrated wine and medium plus finish. Delicious. 92 points
Hour 3: Not as good. Too much air time. Fruit not as intense and mild spices. Short to medium finish. Should have consumed on hour 2. 88 points
Recommendation: This is a two hour max wine.
Day 2: Picking up some nice pepper notes along with plum, spice, rose petals and Bing Cherries. Actually better than hour 3 yesterday. A real solid effort and one of the most consistent wines for under $20.00 that Argentina exports. 90 points
