Nearly saturated black ruby color. Rich nose of spicy blackberry syrup, and crumbling, warm sandstone. Deep and mouthfilling, it features stone-infused dark berry fruit and a long, warm, intensely clingy finish. Very full-bodied, but avoids being ponderous or out of balance. A real mouthful. B+. This was a gift, but Spec's sells it for just under $25.
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!
