Okay, so here’s the thing. Adams The Thing is a powerhouse wine of tremendous fruit concentration and depth, and yet even with 40 months – yes 40 months – in French oak hogsheads, it doesn’t appear excessively oaky. Far from it. What you get is wave after wave rolling in with dark fruits, licorice, chocolate and inky black olive. Adams has never shied away from oak, so it’s a good thing he knows how to handle it. It’s a sort of big easy.
