Thursday, January 12, 2012 - -- popped and poured --
-- tasted non-blind over a few hours --

NOSE: very “winey”; sweet red fruit – strawberry, red currant, strawberry jam; menthol; interesting high-toned hint of orange peel.

BODY: clear; ruby color of medium depth; medium-full bodied.

TASTE: ripe red fruit; strawberry and oaky spice – oak comes across as a French/Hungarian mix; slight note of tar/reduction/rubber tire on the front-mid palate; 14.5% alc. can be tasted a little – dull alcoholic bitterness; short to medium-short finish of moderate intensity; round; not much structure; drink now.

B: 50, 5, 12, 14, 6 = 87
