Saturday, August 24, 2019 - Mike Smith 2018s & 2017s - Myriad, Quivet, Scarlett, Becklyn, and others (Saint Helena): Dear Lord in Heaven, this is a WIIIIIDE open book in its current state, splaying out all the goods right on the front end and making no excuses for it. Those familiar with GIII are no strangers to the early onset of big ‘ol gobs of fruit jumping right into your face-hole. Expect nothing less with the 2018 GIII. Chewy and ultra-accessible (almost shamefully so). Extracted blackberry, the darkest, wettest soil (think the bottom of a waterfall in northern Oregon in February), spice, and black cherry syrup. Not to worry, however, your conservative side will still be pleased to experience the GIII’s ample tannic spine to hold all of its ostentatiousness together. But ya, it’s still super, duper showy. Finishes intense and effusive. It’s awesomely decadent and debauched.
Fair warning, don’t wear a suit and tie when trying this wine. Shoot instead for a bib and a face shield. The only thing missing here is a pole and a swole-up bouncer in his little sister’s tanktop. 96-98 points depending on your tolerance for wet T-shirt contests and beads of sweat on furry-chested Persian men.
