This wine is a deep garnet in color. On the nose I get cranberry, chocolate, and black cherry. On tasting I picked up on some oak and a hint of spice. a very enjoyable wine.
The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like cranberry, cherry, oak, black pepper and chocolate. It tastes like cranberry, blackberry, cherry, honeysuckle, oak, nutmeg, black pepper and chocolate. The body is medium/full. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.

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
