Visited the winery and brought this bottle home. Lots of bold fruit here, almost candied. Not as much cocoa, tobacco, etc as described (and as I remember from the winery) but still a solid wine. I think the sensual silky tannins are there though. Excited for the rest of my Sauska bottles from Hungary and wish they were easier to find in NY.
It's not Bordeaux and it's not a Cali Meritage. Almost as though you could maintain the intensity and ripeness of cali style but infuse some of the old world back into it. And it works but not exactly as you dreamed it would.

Nice young wine. Taste of black currants.
