  Pop and pour. The cork was saturated all the way to the top along one side, so this may be prematurely oxidised, but I can't detect any obvious flaw. Menthol on the nose; on the palate, sour cherry, blackberry, black pepper, and a mix of mint and savory herbs, with a tannic bite that reminds me of hot peppers. Oddly, in spite of the tannins, this seems a bit sweet, and the finish is short. A very good wine, but I was expecting more tannins, more intensity, and a longer finish, based on previous experience with Lagrein. At $40/bottle this isn't a bargain.

  4/5/2010 - Bellissimo Likes this wine:

  Deep red/purple color. Tasted after being open 2 or 3 hours. Nose is a dusty fig but a little tight. Taste dark, earthy fruit with present tannins that don't overpower your mouth. Its fairly well made, in balance and given the price point ($12~15) a nice different thing to try. I've only had a single other Lagrein and it was much more tannic; this was much more drinkable.
