Monday, October 2, 2006 - I had no expectations going in and was pleasantly surprised. This is a fruit+spice bomb, somewhat tempered by age, but still pretty damn spice-filled. Some bramble and garrigue mixed in as well. Controversial wine at our dinner -- the wine lovers either liked it or at least found it interesting from a wine-making POV, the non-winos all hated it...
I would drink this sooner rather than later -- when it loses that fruit, there will be nothing left to combine well with the spices.
