The most serious and complete Anomaly to date: scents of jasmine invite the drinker in, as notes of peppermint stick, hazelnut, and licorice combine to create a distinctly marzipan aroma. The bouquet further exhibits hints of zest and clean notes of flint and wet stone. In the palate, a viscous, yet delicate introduction leads to a round and broad mouth-feel with flavors of huckleberry and baking spices. The 2003 features a classic structure, providing a vital and balanced foundation for the wine. The supple tannins are easily approached and lead to Anomaly’s signature, velvety finish.
