Community Tasting Note

Glenn Gilbert Likes this wine:

Thursday, April 28, 2022 - This tasting of the 2019 Freakshow Cabernet Sauvignon was done entirely independently of my tasting of 11/12/2021 in CellarTracker, bottom line score of 88; the second bottle, opened on 4/28/2022, had a max 3 mm wine penetration, cork aroma of alcohol and concentrated prunes/plums; long legs, dark purple, opened and kept in the fridge for 48 hours before tasting for this report; the initial tasting was at BJ's Sports Bar in West Palm Beach, paired with their bison burger, with a very favorable impression at the time; the remainder of the wine was brought home, kept in the fridge for 72 hours and tasted again at 9 degrees C; the nose confirms impressions from the cork -- lots of prunes and other stone fruit like dark plums and cherries; full bodied; tannins remain in the background; sweetness and stone-fruitiness continue through the long finish; pair with red meat, such as a medium rare filet mignon
