My nomination, from CellarTracker, is the following…
Deep and brooding on the nose, like Rodan’s The Thinker blindfolded in Sylvia Plath’s gas-filled oven. Intense asian spice & unsmoked Cuban cigar rolled on the inner thigh of Fidel’s freshly-taken-from-the-market-at-Castro’s-behest, soon-to-be favorite concubine. Perhaps this virgin was wearing a**-less chaps due to the slightest hint of leather. Dark cherries picked at the height of ripeness by intinerant (sic) workers with a touch of soil on their adept cherry-picking digits and intense tannins build to a height that would repel the most fervent Berserker Mongol hordes. It doesn’t just sweep the leg, Johnny, it’s a full-on crane kick to the face. 92+ pts.
It was a fun read for me, and I couldn’t help but smile as I read it. Over the top? You betcha! But at the same time, I got a great sense for what the wine was about.
Up for a bit more fun?… answer the question below. I’ll post the result in the comments section later this week…
