Steely light yellow with the smallest bubbles adhereing to the sides. Nice light fruit nose with some floral notes and Medium body with a viscous nature that fades at the end leaving a crisp finish.

Gorgeous ruby color with thick clinging legs. Vanilla spice nose with hints of oak. THough the fruit seems a bit restrained. Rich, medium body with light tannin and medium acidity.

February 2005
Nice ruby red with almost a bing cherry quality to the color. Almost a smokey anise nose reminiscent of the saffron that I bought at the same shop where I go the wine. Though this is supported by a backbone of cherry/cranberry fruit. Mouth feel is of medium weight with a light sweetness that fades and as you finish, fine tannins slowly dry the m... Read More

Very light color with a very clear appearance. Nose of smoke, and dark fruit not expected form the color, almost nebiollo like. Rich palate of cherry, and anise, followed by a softly tannic finish. I think I might grab a couple to lay down for a year or two. Very nice wine! [NR] Read More
