Remember that time a patron asked you to describe a wine and you used the term, "mineral", or some variation thereof? Well, I regret to inform... you were wrong. It's okay though, you had no idea. Taste this guy and consider your game CHANGED.
Shout out to Critical Mass Selections! You killed it again!

Blanched almond, candied lemon zest, white peach confit, and beeswax outer layer suggest a sense of stability and maturity garnered through age and experience. All the while, brooding beneath, rage-filled, aggressive, saber-sharp acidity plots vengeance and destruction. I'll call this one; "The Fifth Year Divorcé" — 10 years ago

Who are you?
Where've you been all my life?
Do you mind if my current lover comes to the wedding? I just want to promote an air of closure.

Drank like a champ! Stout black stone fruit declares new world rearing but intense fines-herbs underpinnings suggest French lineage. The clarity in flavors conjure images of Sugarplum faeries...and Québécois lumberjacks. — 10 years ago

Feels as if it should only be consumed in a place of worship. Amphorae-aging and terra-cotta bottling leave a closed finish that when juxtaposed to the rambling, sunny, beach-side, exuberance of the juice itself suggest completion instead of limitation. — 10 years ago
