KWN Wine 4. Leathery. Pepper. Smoked meat. Forest floor. A long, earthy finish. Rhone-like. Fantastic. Very close second to the #WOTN.

Jul 23rd, 2016Sleek, powerful, silky with loads of smoke and wet earth notes. The fruit is there showing boysenberry and cherry liqueur flavors, though a little muted given its age. The tannins prove ever present on the finish. Past prime but a truly wonderful wine.
