Inky ruby. Deep, brooding aromas of cherry compote, cassis, fresh blood and leather. Chewy, youthfully backward dark fruit flavors slowly unfold, picking up more sweetness and an exotic floral quality. A serious wine for the money, with good finishing grip and a lingering note of bitter cherry skin. In fact, this might be too much for most buyers at this price point. - Stephen Tanzer
