Tasting Notes
Look: dark purple-ish
Smell: cherry and pepper
Attack: a bit spicy
Evolution: cherry, spicy, dry
Finish: smooth, lasting, gets better and better as you drink it.
This wine is very good. Very worth the $16 we paid. We will probably get another bottle when we go back to the store to get more wine. We have had this wine before at a restaurant (paid $36 for the bottle) and the bartender told us where we could find it for ourselves. We bought 2 bottles and we are saving the other one until 2013 (it's supposed to be quite good when aged).
