Sunday, August 27, 2017 - Shafer and Scarecrow at South End in New Canaan (South End New Canaan): Super excited to try this legendary wine. There was a cork issue with this so it wasn't fully opened until we got to the restaurant and was promptly decanted. Nose on this was fantastic with sweet cherry, burning embers, blackberry, touch of earth and plum. The palate of this had flavors of blackberry, cherry, earth, mocha, fruitcake and a touch of iron. This still had a tannic bite on it so it really could have used at least a good two hours. Improved as we drank it. Ended with a huge blackberry infused finish that lasted at least a minute. This certainly didn't drink like a 15 year old Cabernet. Certainly had a long life ahead of it still. Lived up to the hype.
