She said: 1st Tasting: This wine reminds me of a flower opening because it starts slowly with a flavorful bouquet and taste and swirls through to a long lasting finish that tastes of earth and leather with light tannins. It was fabulous with the pork roast but just as good sipping afterwards. The tiniest taste felt like a mouthful. With a dark red color and legs that looked like cathedral windows it was a visual treat as well. At $40 it was a treat that I will remember.
2nd Tasting: From the very first sniff to the last bit of the finish this wine is fabulous. The bouquet and flavor creates a vision of a sweaty horse after a good workout and follows through to the end of the long finish. This was just as good tonight as it was last time we had it and I enjoyed sipping it after our dinner. At $40 it is reserved for special dinners at our house.
