Wine in Panama, part 1: hand picked from the artisanal selection at the local supermercado en Bocas...nah. Looked to be the least dangerous, & newest vintage, of a decent vintner. More leafy than many a Malbec. In the tropics, with surf pounding near, all wine is good (enough) including this one.

Ripe, but not with the same over ripeness of Shiraz. Fruity, but with depth. A complex and composed wine.

Very smooth and not too fruity. The description in the bottle says cherries, vanilla and coffee flavors. Very good description and not overpowering.
