Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Deep Ruby with aromas of rich ripe dark berry fruits and smoky spicy oak notes. On the palate flavors of ripe blackberry and plum with notes of charred wood, espresso and tobacco. Fine firm drying tannins, long finish ending with toasty oak and spice. Has long aging potential, not ready yet, wait at least 5 years!

Way too young. Heavy oak. Opened up after 30 minutes to show what could be with age.

Has a pungent fragrance that is a bit musty.
Drinks fairly smoothly with flavors of dark fruit, earth and spice.
Spice lingers on the palate in the finish.

Dark ruby coloration. On the nose, black cherry, spice, currants, dark berries and forest floor. On the palate, currants, spice, black cherry, forest floor, chocolate and minerals in the finish. Pretty strong tannins. Shorter finish.

Black cherry, plum, blackberry, anise, brown tannin, and oak. Needs food to balance acidity.

Dark rich ruby colored wine. Well balanced nose of red fruits, tobacco, oak and earth. Smooth, calm palate. Flavors of cherries, red peppercorns. Strong tannins but less well balanced against the finish leaves the mouth feeling a little dry.

They usually say they save the best for last. This is not the case. The body is anorexic. Lacks something. Still, better than 95% of the stuff back home. Wine enthusiast gave this 95. Perhaps wine enthusiast is stonata.
