Saturday, October 31, 2009 - Opened this for Halloween because I thought this might be a horror show, but I couldn't have been farther from the truth. A shockingly well-made wine that is neither spoofed, over-extracted, nor sweet or candied. On the contrary, this is fully dry, with great balance and very good purity of blackberry fruit and precise freshness. It has an earthiness that I associate with many Spanish wines, and a little dried herbs. Clearly a very good wine that would probably at least merit a score in the low 90s from most wine critics other than Mr. Big Jay. I am duly impressed.
