Surprisingly extracted black, black ruby color. Loads of youthful black cherry fruit and minerals on the nose. No hint of oak here, just pure fruit and stones. Decent weight, and a good, linear attack. A fair amount of tannin, as well as good acids. This will soften and get more fragrant over the next two years. B. Was $12.99 from WTSO.com, making it a really good value. Imported by Superior Wines, Cranford, NJ.
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!
