Dark blackish ruby. Very Bordeaux-like nose of dark chocolate, smoky oak, with dark berry fruit underneath. Lots of chocolaty berry fruit accosts the palate and then fades quickly, as I would expect from a wine that discloses that it's made from young vines. A bland example of the "international style" of technologically unflawed wine but completely lacking in any soul. B-. An Eric Solomon selection, this was about $14 at Spec's.
An idiosyncratic journal of wines I buy from a mix of Internet sources and retailers in the Northern Virginia/D.C. area. Mostly inexpensive and moderately-priced stuff, reflecting my frugal New England roots. Cent anni!
