Christmas Day wine ๐๐
๐ผ๐ท
Acquired this for two reasons: Flora Springs was my โa-haโ wine 10yrs ago which started my wine journey, and secondly because itโs my sister-in-lawโs birth year.
Enjoyed on Christmas Day (with said sister-in-law) and family (the family who introduced me to wine + Flora Springs). Kept the bottle standing for a few days. In the glass, there was bricking but the color was much more vibrant than expected. Aromatically, it showed mushroom and fig, but a good bit of muddled red and black berry fruit, some mint as well. Alive, elegant and bright on the palate with good tannin structure (held strong the two hours it was open). Small hint of tobacco at the finish, but the berry fruit stayed persistent keeping the flavors balanced. Undeniably older Napa (13%) and in great shape. โ 7 months ago

100% Pugnitello. A grape Iโve never had before. Since I love Italian wine I wanted to try this recommendation from my favorite local wine place. I was a bit leery on the vintage but it turned out delicious. Licorice on the nose, tannic with some smokiness and dark fruit on the palate. โ 7 months ago
