3/30/2010 - stercomm wrote: 90 pointsSimilar notes as prior bottle; great nose, getting lots of red fruit, violets and saddle leather with some loamy dust in the background, very nice. On the palate getting loads of cherries, with some chocolate and a hint of toasted oak, the fruit lingers on a very long finish and leaves you hunkering for your next sip. For $15 this is a steal. |

On the palate getting loads of cherries, with some chocolate and a hint of toasted oak, the fruit lingers on a very long finish and leaves you hunkering for your next sip. For $15 this is a steal, will be getting some more bottles of this wine. Day 2 is just as good, the distinct saddle leather has given way to more of a tobacco aroma. |

That said, this would be one as it is no pansy...good structure, fruit, acid bite and framework. A firm sipper and it went well with roasted chicken...and the price ain't bad either at ten and change. |
