Wine reviews #2, 45 minutes later

Now then, down to drinking

It's as deep burgundy as fresh arterial blood, and the first whiff out of the glass has my fangs coming down dripping with drool. Its general smelliness is of soft buttery tones, with a sweet plum note and a hint of sharpness.

It is also sensibly alcoholic, so the smells don't march up your nostrils and sodomise your brain like the vicious barbarian hordes of the 14%+ Huns.

I like to create little alcoholic whippets in my sinuses with most wines, just to grease the cockpit a little before the main whack of the rest of the bottle. Apart from creating a dizzying high, it also helps with trying to fathom the taste. Which is where this gets difficult.

Every aspect of the experience of drinking this is extremely good, apart from getting to the end of the bottle and ESPECIALLY having to share it with the Reaper.
So get your own!

Bribes will be accepted to bring some home, it's $35 per bottle plus, you owe me one!
