With the crew at the NYE celebration.
Bottle from James.

What the heck is this LOL. How can something that smells so interestingly good, be so poor on the palate.

On the nose: what an aroma. Pure blackcurrant with a very fragrant aromatic and lean note of oak and almost coffee bean like. Crushed stones. Like, this was a GOOD nose. I liked that this wasn’t just the typical PUUUREE Napa cab sauv nose.

On the palate: mid acidity, mid body. The biggest flaw with this wine was the finish, which dropped off so abruptly and violently, leaving a hollow taste on the palate. That can’t be right?

What a bloody shame.
