  We opened this with Korean food, mostly to go with the Bulgogi. I usually find the Apsara just a little lean, but this is rounding out really well, and the fruit is darker now than it was when my friend EMark wrote. This is a wine geek wine, apparently, because there are notes for every bottle drunk, I assume--there's not much made and I'm sure lots of people have just started opening theirs. I wouldn't worry that it is too young, but the structure is good and it should last a long time. Really a nice straddle of the savory and the fruit, with some meaty notes as well. Not a heavy wine, and the tannins are quite resolved already. Lovely stuff, glad I have a couple more. I always regret that I haven't bought more of Robin's wines.

  PNP, drank over 2 nights. Dark maroon in color. Aromas of cherries, leather, and a hint of vanilla. Bright red fruit taste. Smooth texture and a lip smacking finish. In a nice spot.
