Description:

Dirty secrets aged in oak barrels.
Dark matter wrapped around my tongue.
A full-bodied wine for a wandering mind.

Like reading a book in a haunted castle.
Like swimming in the ocean at night, thinking about sharks.
Like peeling off the pantyhose of a stripper.
Waiting for the monster to come out from under the bed.
Waiting for the shark to bite my leg.
Waiting for a kiss from lips so red.

This wine scores 89/100.

Experience

A wine that tastes like aged lust wrapped in satin.

Imagine a beautiful woman sitting cross-legged on dewy grass,
watching the night sky, letting the time pass.
Listen to her laughter
right after
she gives you the middle finger.

The wine plays with your tongue.
Fondling.

Something silky, ferric,
with hints of strawberry.
The taste of soft, bitten lips.

A kiss.
A false goodbye.
An image, a memory
of what could have been.

An affordable red wine that pairs nicely with Lebanese meza. A decent blend with notes of strawberry, tobacco, and vanilla. I’d give it a 67/100, and I wouldn’t mind enjoying another bottle.
