This wine was an extremely pleasant surprise. We purchased it inexpensively off a restaurant wine list, and were not prepared for the tasty, totally opaque, inky-black wine that showed up in the glass. The nose displayed dark plums and dark berries, bittersweet chocolate, and some spicy oak. Medium-bodied, well balanced, velvety mouth feel. Lacking a bit in the legnth and depth department, but for the price much more than adequate. (Price estimated, based on $21 restaurant price.) - WB Team 2003-08-08
