I made a comment about "high-octane fuel" a little earlier, and based on the aromatics, prototypically, this is it.
Aromas of syrop du cassis, rich black fruits and anise prepare the palette for what is to come. The experience in the mouth does not disappoint. It's plump with a luscious mouthfeel. Not overly done. It's heavily extracted, but still presents harmoniously with bright acidity, tannins that fight back and 14.8% abv. Hints of coffee, jam compote and nutmeg finish with power, yet subtlety.
This is my first taste of their cab, and PM have again jammed a quart into a pint pot.
On a different topic, America, please join the rest of the progressive nations and use the metric system. There, I feel better already.

Oxidative, crisp, pears, honey, light hazelnut cream and summertime giggles. Paired nicely with the MMA fight we watched 😄 — 9 years ago
This wine has balls, but also manners. Classic and thick Italian richness, but goes down without a fight. Good day one, very good day two. Great WTSO find. — 10 years ago

Wine 0️⃣6️⃣
Sassicaia 09 from Carlo Terruzzi
📝 We had to fight my wife to get any of this as she adored it 😎
Lovely rich deep cocoa driven dark fruits that showed awesome potential - drinking 4.5⭐️ but will be a stunning 5⭐️ in 5-7 years & my wife says 5⭐️ as her WOTN & it will be 5⭐️ in time 👍
Check others notes but I'm buying some (I've been ordered to 😂) & I even kissed (or licked) Carlo for this - thanks Carlo for sharing this & costing me a fortune 👅 — 8 years ago

A bit hot. Nice color but tough to fight — 9 years ago
It’s a dark wine, almost inky, with a fantastically funky nose. The dark fruit sort of waves as it goes by, while the smell of meat just stands there and stares at you. There is a hint of pepper, a dash of mint, but that smoky, meaty smell really dominates. On the palate, a dark, brooding plum and blackberry combination put up a little more of a fight against the earthy, meaty flavors. It’s really a great tasting wine.

Great color in the glass. Medium + density. Pomegranate nose with floral aspects and some baking spice. Palate is light, progressing to a finishing good with structure and some tannin. Acid is great overall. Raspberry and Strawberry fight for the front seat. Long lingering, sinking cherry finish. Opened 5/10/15 — 10 years ago

A Barolo to find and hold. Picture perfect in the decanter (3hrs). A Sunday wine, like a perfectly braised lamb shoulder. Getting better as it breathes. The nose is all Barolo. Complex dark fruit. Spice. Pepper. Cherries. It attacks the palate and then immediately softens with a blackberry finish that leaves the perfect amount of heat behind. The tannins are integrated and silky and suggestive of a long life ahead. This minuscule production wine is amazing and you should fight to find it. I was sad when we finished the bottle. — 8 years ago
I feel like many S.M. Producers fight the amazing tannins that the AVA can bring. This powerful wine deserves contemplating over a long dinner. Or you could wait awhile. — 9 years ago
This is uniquely yummy. A rich Carmel and berry aroma with big intense fruit that makes me wonder if it's 100% Cab. I had my doubts when I read about it, but love it and bought the last 11 bottles at Wilber's--and then had to fight off a bunch of people trying to snatch it outta my cart... — 9 years ago
Wonderful with my beef filet. Very smooth and round. Did not fight with the food. Very complementary. I would order again. — 10 years ago
Great wine. Nice density. Perfume/Berries with moist earth fight for front stage on aromas. Palate is gradual, sinking bing cherry with chalk and incorporated tannin. Easy acid, but remaining balanced with the rest of the wine. Opened 7/2/15 — 10 years ago
Joey's house for fight night — 10 years ago
It took 35 minutes to open up, but after that delicate rose notes, sauvage and red berries fight to dominate the palate, all pinned with surprisingly bright acidity. — 10 years ago
What can I say? When you're drinking Pomeral, life is sublime. Haunting bouquet, full, but not overpowering. Aromas of black currant, fig, cedar, tobacco, caramel. Silken and complex on the palate, generous fruit, focus and structure. This is the kind of wine that ruins marriages because you fight over the last drop. — 12 years ago

Smells amazing. Tastes better. It's the X-Men of BC Cabs. It's something you didn't think would jump so effortlessly from bottle to tummy. It's inhuman. It's a mutant. It's fighting for truth and drunkenness for those who can't fight for themselves. Wow. Thanks Charlotte. — 8 years ago
