😇 I looked up to the sky & the Purple Angel came down upon me filling my glass with light blocking purple ruby rain that oozed aromas of black & blue berries w/ thick chocolate, vanilla, dates, heavenly minerals & smokey oak - “drink this godly juice” she said in a booming voice🍷
I dared embrace the heavenly nectar & succumbed to a full on palate explosion of ripe dark concentrated blackcurrant/berry bathed in raspberry cocoa and minerals💥
My mouth was left open in awe as my purple stained teeth yielded to the long silky fruit loaded intense finish & I myself turned into a naughty purple devil - spank me angel, spank me 😈
🎵 “And through it all she offers me protection l, A lot of love and affection” you’re gonna be singing this all day now 🤣 “And down the waterfall wherever it may take me .. “

Toscana wine evening #7
Aromatic & perfumed with black fruit, raspberry jam, some fire smoke, autumn forrest leaves and a mushroom whiff. Sweet & aromatic on the nose, with beautiful structure on the palate - juicy acidity, polished yet muscular tannins.
This is, as always, a devil in angels disguise. one of my all time favorites. I love it! — 6 years ago

"My husband was a logging man... he met the devil. Fire is the devil, hiding like a coward in the smoke." - Log Lady, Twin Peaks. @Star Black remember these bottles from the old era at Southeast? This has been around for at least 6 years, most the time not stored well. Heart broken by how good it is after all this time. — 10 years ago

Beautiful cranberry tea, auburn color. Big beer- alc, depth, rich bitter hops rounded by just the right amount of malt. This probably needs a couple years of aging. Caramlized grapefruit. Very dry in the mouth. Black tea. — 10 years ago
Whow, Rich, opulent and deep. Great wine, strawberry hero, but fruit is greatfully balanced by soft tannins & medium acidity, remarkable light but powerful like a Goliath, great Priorat. Nectar that will soothe your soul with spicy devil finish. Cheers

Bold up front. Disappears on the back end. Heavier beef stock type flavor to it. Not too fruity. We enjoyed this one and it was easy to drink. -2018 vintage — 5 years ago
