"I recently had the pleasure of sampling the 2024 'Conservative Tears, a wine that truly promises to 'Make Your Palate Great Again.' And by 'great,' I mean it tastes exactly like you’d expect: uncompromising, aggressive, and entirely convinced it’s superior to French wines, despite having no evidence to support that claim.
Palate & Body
On the first sip, it’s remarkably dry—so dry, it’s practically in denial. The tannins are brutally dominant, clearly trying to dominate all other tasting notes in a hostile takeover. It’s heavy-bodied, but lacks any real depth or complexity, relying instead on a "loud" flavour profile that commands attention while saying very little of substance.
Finish
The finish is long and lingering, leaving a slightly bitter aftertaste that reminds you of the 2020 vintage. It pairs best with processed meats, echo chambers, and complaining about the mainstream media.
Appearance & Nose
The wine pours a shockingly bright, angry shade of red—think 'Campaign Rally Red.' Upon swirling, the bouquet hits you immediately with notes of scorched earth, unfiltered audacity, and a hint of something that smells suspiciously like a lawsuit. There is absolutely no subtlety here; it shouts at you from the glass, much like your uncle at Thanksgiving.
