anacostiakat Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Picked up a bottle of this to try. Not really my thing. Robust and jammy but I just found it to be too tannic for my likeing. Even though it weighs in at 15% alki. :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one I've really fallen in love with. It's a steal at less than $12 U.S. a bottle and Robert Parker raved over it with a 91 rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
