Saturday, November 12, 2022 - Wine weekend in the Twin Cities; 11/10/2022-11/12/2022 (Where the frosty air is refreshing.. kind of): N: Dark blue plums, a bit of a port nose with a touch of chocolate.
P: Dark blue fruits with a red sheen, a bit of plums with integrated deep black earth and smooth dark minerals with a brightness still. The port essence is much less strong than the nose but it’s still kinda there. Pleasant freshness that pierces through the plums and ports and actually drags those notes down a little, making this a bit more enjoyable.
This one hurt.. I almost didn't wanna believe this was somehow flawed but when I realized this started smelling like some of the '82 Bordeauxs, that kinda brought some reality back into me. The ones at the gathering who have tasted before confirmed this is nothing like what it should be. Ugh, the pain.
