I'm finally here...I think I may have just attended the longest High School Graduation EVER!!!

Appearance - 2
Color - 2 (Looking like an uber-ripe Black Cherry)
Aroma - 2.5 (Pretty hot right off the bat...Cherry, Clove/Nutmeg, Leather...)
Volatile Acidity - 2
Total Acidity - 2
Sweetness - 1
Body - 1
Flavor - 2 (Ripe Red Fruit- Cranberry, Cherry, Raspberry...)
Astringency - 1
General Quality - 1

Total 16.5

I'm getting this wine, but I'm also holding this wine. Kinda reminds me of when I first tasted the 03 back when working at the Inn I wanna do a re-tasting at the end of the year.

I still have 1/3 of bottle -- I am a slow-poke tonight.
But I think our Eastern/Texan friends began drinking well before 6 pdt.
Just sayin'.

Figures - I couldn't even spell it. Thanks to all of you guys - this really was a fantastic night and I'm sorry I had to drop after 60 min.

Lee, General Manager said:

Melanie - you put the liquor in licorice :) Just confirms why we get along.

Melanie Ofenloch said:

I get liquorice (sp?), blackberry and current. It's changed drastically in the decanter over the past few hours. Loving this.

Thea The Wine Brat said:

Tonight i taste:

Dried cherry, chili peppers on the nose. Tannins have softened nicely. Mmmmmmmmm
Soft, plush, velvety.
Black cheery, ollalliberries, dark chocolate.

www.brfarms.com Jim and Mari were kind enough to give me my first job back in High School...it taught me that I wanted to go to College!

Awesome - 1 left. I'm either going to have to make some more or be chivalrous and let Debbie have it.

Since I plugged a condiment at Whalebone, I must say that the spicy apricot sauce (we forget what you call it) available at Donati's tasting room is killer also. But, we used it up at a party a couple weeks ago. :(
