So...I had a birthday a couple weeks back.and due to scheduling, my regular bottle finishing team wasn't available until now, so we're finally doing it up in my grand, unique style.

Notes possibly tomorrow, scores honestly tonight.

Decanted 6H.

24-Hour Update:
Nose has crushed bricks, blood orange, ripe cherries, cranberry sauce and wet vines.
Palate has dried cranberry (unsweetened), chalk, orange zest, black currant and dried blackberry.
Seems a little shutdown, revisit 2023+. — 5 years ago

Lots of fun bottles were popped at Al’s hosting this past weekend for his birthday celebration. All were served blind. 1 sparkler, 2 whites, 6 reds and 1 dessert wine.

En mag. Probably the most difficult wine of the night to identify. Hardly anyone even got close to calling this cab. I was leaning Grenache or ripe vintage burgundy as I thought I was detecting a bit of whole cluster usage due to the lifted profile and stemmy/spice red fruit notes. Yet by the end of the night, the structure beefed up and the spice turned more sweet. Lovely cherry liqueur, sandalwood, baking spices and baked red fruited pie notes. — 7 years ago

Rustic and fast-forward, while dry and tasy. You can't do much better for $6. Thanks Lidl! — 7 years ago

Lush black fruit flavors accompanied by lavender spice in the bouquet. This one sneaks up on you with the 15% abv. A modern take on the pleasures of drinking wines from the Cotes due Rhone. — 10 years ago

I had better experiences with previous vintages which all hit 90+ scorings for me. Nevertheless I really like this wine for its sweetness, mouthfilling fruit and elegance. — 8 years ago

2008 magnum. Very smooth and silky. More concentrated than other Stella wines I've tasted, due to the hot vintage, but still very elegant. One of the very best producers in Montalcino. — 10 years ago

Way too young. Couldn't enjoy the wine much due to not enough breathing time. Will wait for another 20 years. — 10 years ago
