Wednesday night “whoops”. Meant to grab a different Jessup wine and ended up with this one somehow. After having the ‘13 six months ago, my note was “too early”. This is farther along but still wound up tight. Last of my Jessup CabFrancs.
Very floral on the nose...almost potpourri like. Violet. Darker than the ‘13. Additional meat notes. Tannic. Very nice texture on the palate. Finish is a tad hot, but it’s got nice flavors of licorice, raspberries, not yet ripe blackberries, and an herbal/pepper spice. I’m sure this will be better tomorrow evening with additional air.
