A pretty good, kinda funky wine.
Deep, saturated ruby garnet color.  very deep-toned nose of scorched earth, and roasted fruit and meat.  Massive in the mouth, with lots of very dark, black fruits, unsweetened dark chocolate, and iodine flavors.  Some heat and a fair amount of tannin (not coarse) in the finish.  The grapes were probably picked just a tad too ripe, resulting in a huge wine -- on the verge of being overly-extracted and overblown, but still pretty good in a unique way.  85.  Was about $12 at Spec's on Richmond.
