I know I've tasted this one before but in all honesty it's been quite a while. So why not again right? The Masi Campofiorin has a bouquet (I hate using that word) of rich dark cherries and really subtle notes of smoke and cedar. It has a full body that wraps your tongue in more dark cherries and blackberries but I wouldn't say that it's fruity. The cherry and berry notes are quite parred down as the tasting progresses because I think the smokey earth tones take over and wrap it all up with a long dry finish. I say "I think" because I kinda had a hard time deciding if things were wrapped up nicely with the smoke and earth flavours or if they weren't wrapped up at all and things fell flat. If someone has tasted this one before I'd love to hear your comments on it. It could also very well be my own inexperience coupled with the fact I'm already gettin' my buzz on!
Peace!

PS: you're two o'clock appointment is going to come soon Chris... very soon indeed.
PPS: enough about the goddam Wolf Blass. My point was that it's a decent wine for the price and mass production isn't a good enough reason not to like it.
