Written Notes

The nose on the second red reminded me of a Rhone wine, but it was deeper and more concentrated than the average one. Cuvee Cathleen crossed my mind. Its palate was big, beefy and roasted with a kiss of earth and a long, concentrated and smoky finish. Guesses were all over, including Italy. The wine was meaty and nutty and finished well with caramel kisses. It was a 1991 Pesquera Ribera del Duero Cuvee Janus. Someone said that Janus was a two-faced god who looked to the past and future at the same time. Deep (93).
