Deep bing cherry flavor, fruit forward (zin based?), not too in your face. Good! — 10 years ago
Ahhh 2006 was such a great year! Full bodied, ripe delicious fruit. So good! And yes, Kim, I give everything a big smiley face b/c I rarely ever buy sucky wine. :) — 11 years ago
Somm Factory II – Evolution
Session #6 Italy VS Spain. Ac: M
Alc: M+
B: M
T: H
S: Dry (super dry, hurts a little bit)
Nose: chemical smell, mint, pretty floral smell
Taste is subtle but tannins start soft and then grow and grow… huge tannins, very astringent.
Really firm, punched in the face experience. Liked this a lot.

As you would expect from Manfred. After a while you just run out of superlatives and just sit there with a Syrah stained smile on your face. Rich dark fruit with beef blood smell (that term doesn’t do justice to how interesting and delicious the combination really is). Tremendous finish, dark color to the edge. Just a great wine experience. My only bottle. I have no clue how long this wine could go before peaking. — 7 years ago
