  A deep and intense wine with notes of oak, dark cherry, chocolate, espresso and crushed rock, this bad boy is ready to drink. Be prepared for a wild ride because this monster is bold and tannic but somehow presents the most elegant long finish. Nothing short of impressive from Carter wines generally but La Bam is at an optimal drinking time. Opportunity to drink now or let it sit for another few.

  More acidic than I expected or remembered. Wish I had given it a few more years.

  Saturated purple...supercharged high octane cabernet fruit with a
  super long mouthcoating finish with a notion of cognac and a bit of burn.
  totally over the top. This is either an aperitif or after dinner drink, nothing you would ever pair with food.
  no score
