  August 26, 2008 - New World Bordeaux, more subtle than I expected, but very nice. On the nose there is currant, brown sugar, coriander?, a bit of pepper, and cocoa. Quite complex, and beyond my ability to full describe. On the palate there are layers of soft pepper over the fruit. The oak is very restrained, and nearly entirely absent on the lingering finish. This wine, while not perfect, defines elegant. Wish I had more. Tasted alone, with grilled melon and fried proscuitto, and then fries and beef ribs. And yeah, it works. Try it.
