This was the most controversial wine of our 23-bottle tasting event. A few liked it, but it was one of the strangest wines I've ever had. I'm hoping it was a flawed bottle, and I have one more to try. This one was quite literally like licorice in liquid form. Not just a hint of licorice in the nose. Absolutely intense licorice flavor, and nothing but licorice. Very weird.

Most popular wine at our 2009 tasting event. Still tight, but with decent fruit balance. No rush to try the next bottle, as this has the structure to last a long time.
