Here’s day 2 for #12.
I know to post these tasting notes to the what-cam-x-wine-are-you-drinking-tonight in the future, but just wanted to close this out here.
I guess the color does depend on the angle of the light and background.
Tonight the nose is so fragrant with pink cotton candy cheesecake perfume. I could inhale this all day. IT’s very nice! Though it takes a little time for the alcohol to blow off on the nose.
The palate is less fruity tonight; there’s more black and blue fruit rather than the red red from yesterday. I’m starting to taste a slight bitterness, some leather suitcase melted in a mouthful of swirling smooth almost creamy black cherry flower petals. There is still a TON of tannins. My Gosh, my whole mouth is filled with tannins. Maybe one of the most tannic wines I’ve ever had.
The soapy taste from yesterday is still barely perceivable but I think it may be oak. I may have mis-characterized it as soapy. I still get that taste but it’s actually a taste that give this wine it’s fundamental character. It’s not bad at all. I just don’t know how to describe it.
I appreciate the nice review of #12 by KhaN at what-cam-x-wine-are-you-drinking-tonight.
What CAM X wine are you drinking tonight? - #15 by KhaN?
I would agree with KhaN’s excellent review except I didn’t think the alcohol was that strong. I could chug this down very easily. I did start sampling some bourbon last week but I’m not a regular bourbon whiskey drinker. Still I didn’t even notice the 15% alc before KhaN mentioned it. I did notice a bit of alcohol on the nose, though.
I would give #12 
Right now I would still prefer 385, 250, 278
But I think this is a great start for Cam X!!!
and yes those costco tiramisu shot glasses are a ton easier to wash and dry than wine glasses for everyday
