Drank 12/18/20
A selection from the Costco Wine Advent Calendar.
From 325 mL.
Aromas of blackberry, smoke, and spice. Black berry and black cherry on the palate.  Still French in feel, but perhaps a bit more fruit driven than most.  Black fruits and tar with firm tannins on the finish.  
3/21/7/3/4 +50 =88 pts.  
Nice with brisket

Licorice, and as with most wines from the Costco wine advent calendar, would be better in a couple of years.

Advent calendar, day 17. I’m not going to pretend that I actually know what I’m talking about, but I’m taking a guess that this wine would be better if allowed to age further. It has a nice flavor and a lot of potential, but it feels like it could be so much better. But I’ll never know because I drank it up!
