#@#$ Holy...

This is one reason why one should want to be loaded.....to be able to drink stuff like this once every so often......but I had it on the goodness of a friend who was pouring this. Amazing nose, so dense, so full and yet not a clumsy wine. There is a lot of lift. Hugh dollups of olives, pounds of bacon, earth, berries, black berries, fully ripe blackberries oozing in sweetness, and yet herb, spicy, mineralily, Layers of flaovr coming at you all night and a persistence that is stupid long. Moving to a bit of tea afterwards but an intense experience. just lovely.
