- TheEngineer - 08-04-2007 Kinda in the same vein as Los Rochas and Luvodicus, only better... [img]http://wines.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] Nose muted a but hiding what was to come, Nice mouthfeel, very smooth (thought it was the high alcohol but the wine hid that well but still around 14.5). Definitely a very forwared wine, very fruit but tries hard to be balanced and drinks well. On palate, dark cherries, blueberries, hint of licorice (thank god not a lot since I'm not a fan), peppers and good finish, though not quite as long as I was hoping for...then again $17 in MA.....so how can I complain....but for $9 I still prefer luvodicus as a value buy though this one is better. Give this one a whirl! |
