Notes
-----
I know, I know. This is supposed to be a really impressive
wine, especially at that price. But it just wasn't to my
taste. The color was a lovely red brick, fading to orange at
the edges. The nose is medium strength, black cherries and
raspberries. This wine had, to me, a lot of tannins. Even
giving it an hour and a half to breathe, the tannins were
still overpowering. You could tell there was good flavor
underneath, if the tannins would ever let it out. If you
like your wine with a bit of a tannic edge, this would be
perfect for you.
