RKS 2024 Wine: What Batman, Robin and Alfred Drink After Hours

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inWineTags:, , , ,

My sources tell me that although Bruce Wayne has lots of dough he prefers inexpensive wines. Of late apparently Batman, Robin and Alfred are drinking an Italian wine named “Dark Knight”. Alfred was seen unloading a case of it from the Batmobile. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 20% Sangiovese.

Aroma: Full of black cherry, blackberry, purple plum and a hint of hazelnut wafer cookie.

Palate: Upfront tannins fade quickly. Blackberry mingled with black cherry and gentle vanilla. Enormously and immediately approachable. Short finish.

Personality: I am an easy going Italian great for your next Bunga Bunga party.

Food Match: Cibreo. Rocky Mountain oysters too!

Cellarbility: The drinking window ends mid 2025.

Price: $18 CDN.

RKS 2024 Wine Rating: 88/100. Wine Align 89.

(Gabbiano Dark Knight 2022, IGT Toscana, Beringer Blass Italia, San Casciano, Italy, 750 mL, 14%).
