critic/winery review: 89- Wine Spectator. A beefy, herb-tinged red,
sporting dense layers of plum sauce, grilled fig and currant past, stacked with
notes of roasted game, rosemary and hummus. The finish lingers, despite
noticeable tannins.
My review: Beefy
is not a joke. There’s a very strong smell off this one with an intense kick.
It’s herby, cooked almost, perhaps even grilled. It tastes like liquid smoke
with a killer aftertaste. You don’t even need a meal with this cause it is one.
I feel like I shouldn’t be allowed to drink it because I don’t have a beard and
I haven’t killed anything or set anything on fire lately. There might be just
the barest bit of fruit right at the very end. I feel like this would be good
to cook with, but I’m not sure how possible it is to drink.
CONCLUSION: Would
not drink again
Not tasted with food
