Thursday, October 27, 2011 - I was very pleasantly surprised by this wine which I expected to be a tough, tannic monster, but turned out to be a wonderful, mature classic.
A: Almost black. Garnet red. cloudy and dense:
N: Leatheryand Herbs. Floor polish.
P: A very satisfying drink. Plenty of stuffing and structure, but not (as I feared) dominated by tannin. Really quite savoury and a little lip-smacking.
