A little bit of Connie magic wrapped up in a heavy bottle. If the heavy bottle is because of its density, then the colour of the wine matches that perfectly. The nose is quite potent, giving plenty of hints to its 14.5% abv, yet it isn’t actually alcohol hot. A winter warmer for sure. All of those multitudinous grapes blend and weave their magic under Connie’s guidance into a robust wine which is full of rich fruitiness. There is spice too, of course, and a modest acidity, and although it has a little bit of dryness on the finish it would be very harsh to say it is tannic - interesting, yes, giving the wine backbone, yes, tannic, no. In a way I’m disappointed I didn’t wait until Christmas to enjoy this, but hey hope Christmas can come early can’t it?
You and Barry
