  This bottle had a brittle cork which had to be removed in pieces but there was no sign of leakage so I have to surmise that the wine was simply past maturity. Raisiny off-cherry flavors followed by dusty tobacco. Way overpriced and an unfortunate recommendation from Asheville Wine Mart (NC). Tossed receipt but think it was $30-35. Purchased while traveling so no ability to return. This was the 2nd bottle purchased that night. Unfortunately both struck out.

  Tart red berries and cherry on the nose, with some leafy and perfumy nuances. Baking spices , oak and some graphite.
  Refreshing and surprisingly light on the palate. The tannins tighten towards the finish. Very nice structure and aromatically in line with the nose. Decent lenght finish.
  A nice wine. This year the blend was 50-50 CS and Cannonau
