Opens with a whiff of milk choc, cherry, a bit of salumi and eucalypt. Palate of red cherry, cranberry, a lick of medicinal herbs, aniseed, bright and vibrant. Good gear, long finish, but flavour profile thins out a little on the back palate.

Pacific Rim wines (Kenny's Wood Fired Grill, Dallas, Texas): Interesting very dark red color with aromas of ripe red raspberries and some menthol. But, then this was followed by refined tannins, and a fairly smooth finish--a bit strange--expected it to be sweeter. Hints of cedar and oak on the finish rounded off the initial tasting. The grapes were dry grown, from low yielding vines, with the average vine age of 70 years, with half of the vines planted in 1893. Aged in oak for 5 years, then refermented in bottle. After 2 hours of sitting, the wine was not as pleasant—drink soon. 87-91
