Nose: I’ve been doing cleanup post demolition – everything smells like sawdust. And green peppercorn steak sauce. There is a spicy richness that just carries on. And a hint of musky, dried Turkish apricots.
Palate: The mouthfeel from the plant de graisse grape is something so utterly unctuous, I’m just shocked we don’t see it used in more blends to give it weight. It just coats. The oak pops but isn’t overwhelming, more piquant, and shows as white pepper.
Rating: 5 / 10 – There is really nothing special here besides the mouthfeel. It needs more depth.
