(Notes from Memory)
Bright Ruby color and a very serious nose. Something very lightly animaly with cherry and woodsiness. On the palate it's intense, but still light on its feet. Cherry, red berry, some spice and a tiny bit gamey in the background. Still a little bit tannic. The finish is only medium-length, but what's so impressive is how intense the flavor is without having a big body as well.
Very nice wine ($60)
