2013 Prima Materia Aglianico
10/10/2017 - MadelinePuckette Likes this wine:
Deep red. High intensity aromas of scorched blackberry, crushed lava rock, brambles, cocoa powder, and subtle hints of vanilla. On the palate it's dry and just under full-bodied with medium acidity and high tannins that hit the front of the mouth. Even though tannins are high, they are fine-grained and chocolatey with a bitterness like darjeeling tea. Finish is long and ends on a lingering gravelly sweet note.
Perfect pairing? Carne Asada and fries.

1989 Château Montrose
12/30/2012 - MadelinePuckette Likes this wine:
This wine was in good form when opened. Drinking perhaps towards the top of it's bell curve, with only slight hints of volatile acidity in the aroma. Flavors of Tobacco, old leather are predominant but lead into burnt raspberry, anise and prune. Acidity was medium plus. Tannin was medium plus on front and medium grit on roof of my mouth.

On second thought. This wine is considerably higher on my personal taste scale than the norm. I will mark as such!
