Wierd Grapes 2nd Get Together (Leiden): Monster wine. Jammy strawberries, caramel, fennel. Not for the faint hearted and needs a bit of acidity to freshen it up. Opens up as it approached room temp and that causes the alcohol to become apparent on the nose. After a few hours this becomes heavier and more clawing. Not fun - one of these wines the you think will need a bit more time, but which probably will never come together.

really disappointing...flat profile all around..good texture but that was about it. last of three bottles and in general they were very overpriced for what they presented in the bottle.

ahhh, delicious. red strawberries in the most luxurious cashmere glove you can imagine. beautiful in the mouth; richly textured and a long strawberry finish. tasty and easily gulpable.

Impressive bottle, color and weight. Very ripe - reminds me of Zinfandel with lots and lots of oak and lots and lots of VA.
