Apparently last vintage from these vines. Nice one, too, water chestnut, quinine, walnut kernel when warms , acid in check, honey, apples. Be fun to see in 5 years — 10 years ago
Firehouse wine cellar. Pretty good. Kind of sweet. The can is surprisingly huge. — 2 years ago
This totally encapsulates my feelings today, my sadness over the loss of a great icon. Tobacco, darkness, rough and tumble weathered psyche. This wine brings you that much closer to feeling that death spiral, though you realize your biological levity will intervene. Others aren’t so lucky. This wine is a toast to someone who could not conquer darkness himself, but nurtured his inner darkness to bend the rest of us toward the light. May you finally feel at home, restless wanderer. — 7 years ago
Spot on with nearly ten years of age. Not sure if it was the careful winemaking or the saran/tin liner in the stelvin.
Pours a pale ruby. Nose is an amalgam of tart plum, rose hips, sour red cherry, damp stone and a hint of clean earthy hummus. Palate feel was elegant, acid dominated with a light/medium body and a lovely, sapid, invigorating finish. This reminded me of very good village level or middling premium Cru Burg from the 90's. I'm guessing this had some stem inclusion due to the slightly menthol/ever so vaguely green tone in the aftertaste. Very, very good. Too bad I only had one bottle. — 3 years ago
