  Agree with Tale: this is a very good buy (third Costco Japan success in a row for me). Tobacco for me the dominant flavor - tangy, sweetish tobacco - with supporting dark and red berry. Simple and good.

  2/18/2015 - Epic Tale Likes this wine: 90 Points

  color: medium purple velvet -- slightly translucent; nose: light oak and earth -- pleasant!; taste: medium-bodied mouth feel, rounded and slightly fruity taste, medium-length fruity finish with soft tannins and notes of tobacco and a little green pepper; overall: delicious New World juice, tasty and interesting from start to finish, understated and still slightly young as of Feb 2015 -- its best is yet to come in ca. 2017-8, excellent QPR (¥1000 at Costco in Japan = USD $9.50). Buy lots, drink now or hold!
