Medium ruby with a slight ambering at the rim. Engaging nose with lots of stuff going on: Soft, sappy cherries, peat moss, maple syrup, root beer, and crushed stone. Instantly mouth-filling, with ripe, dried sweet cherry syrup, smoked meat, lots of stony minerals, and a smoky not-quite-as-sharp-as-graphite-but-still-darkish component that clings to the sides of the mouth. Lengthy finish that you wish would be even longer. Fairly full body. A teensy bit of tannin. My only quibble is that the acidity is lower than I'd ideally like. A-. So much more enjoyable than 50% of the Burgundy Premier Crus out there at double the price. Was $22.99 from WineAccess.com.

Not getting it, dude. What were you smoking. This the 4 yah best pn I've had in 2 years. And I've had 4. Neither one of us are crazy about the finish.
How many wines have you drunk tonight? Can't understand what the hell you're saying!
