did not enjoy as much as my friends who had a different bottle on a different night and recommended, but not a bad value. Maybe a little too hot for me.

color: a garnet, somewhat transparent - thin skinned grape nose: med int, a curious mint type aroma (should this be a marker) palate: dry, acid is med, tannin med and very smoooth (chocolate), body is med alc is est 13 finish is med +
Style note: With its smooth silky texture and high notes of mint and chocolate, this is a delicious wine that needs contact with oxygen to come out. Some black fruit, highlights of red fruit (red currant raisonated) yet mostly terciary savory flavors such as chocolate and tea soaked vanilla cookies. Loads of spice, especially cinammon red hots.
Many varieties considered ... an older richer bordeaux with Cab Franc, Mencia from a ripe vintage ...
