This wine sparked a discussion right off the bat concerning the aromas; I said sweaty leather, but others thought new car leather, antique store, grandma’s closet, and baseball glove. Needless to say, it was intriguing from the get-go! Consensus for: Tar, mushroom, stewed plums, tobacco, mocha, caramel, something nutty, and potting soil in the flavors. Tannins and acid still have a bite! Lovely, complex and layered. We talked about the wine for hours! As I always say: Wine is the best argument! (Because unlike religion or politics, you don’t hate the other person at the end of the night!)
