A stunning wine. Doesn't try to do too much, just stays within itself and ends up being an absolutely spot-on, sweet-spot CC.
Dark ruby with just the slightest lightening at the rim. Amazingly pure nose of the sweetest, highest toned cherry extract, fruitcake, and pure, focused Chianti earth. A floral note too. Linear, bone dry, generous flavors. No fat, but not an iota too lean either. Got that great, cherry fruit-mixed-with-schisty-Tuscan gravel thing going on. Excellent acids keep it energetic. Long, clingy finish, with a barely perceptible dose of micro-tannin. Killer. A. F*ck that new school stuff, this is the real deal. Was $21.99 from WTSO.com, but I've also seen this at Spec's (on Bissonnet) in Houston. Get some.
