flawed...had to be. salty sawdust. bought two bottles....will try the other in a year or so. (mostly because it will take that long to get the taste out of my mouth from this bottle.

Smell: strong smokey cedarwood. big woodsy smell with sweet raspberry and black plum fruits. Taste: Very dry, medium body, medium length finish. Good acidity and strong tannins balanced by a smooth opening. Tastes quite woody: big oak, cedar and earth notes. Fruits are raspberry, sour cherry, blueberry. A bit smokey. Need to drink this with salty foods to bring out the sweetness and the fruit. The finish is what makes this wine enjoyable.
