Wednesday, October 1, 2008 - Montelena Seminar (Binny's Highland Park, Highland Park IL): nose: beautiful and elegant nose filled with mint undertones, roasted herbs, tobbacco, cassis, dark cherries, and cranberry tones with bits of cedar
taste: great medium feel on the palate with a lot of bordeaux-like qualities providing tones of tobbacco, cranberry, cedar, dark cherries, and bits of cassis
overall: a lovely wine. Elegant and silky with great length and tastefully refined tannins. This is just right in the pocket right now and is extremely enjoyable and is just a real delight to drink
