The wine opens up rather oaky and herby, after about an hour, this blew off and the wine appear to be more integrated. Still very ripe and forward, with a nice round mouthfeel, cherry, berries and chocolate, slightly spicy, slightly sweet, but medium+ finish slightly disappoints but for the price, pretty gosh darn good ($14.99).

On day two, (no I didn't finish the bottle by myself), this wine was even better, seemed to have rounded itself up and made a good show for itself. Better integrated, better balanced, more round, all for 14 bucks,.... gosh I love the duoro area.

The sabbatical starts today. Had my Grand-Daughter, hubby and Great-GS over yesterday. Made a Tarte d' Alsasce, homemade chicken soup, and HUGE Italian heros with chicken sausage, romano, pepperoni, and a carmalized onion marinari that, without bragging, was killer. Went thru 5 different Santa Cruz Mtn. bottles. Noone went hungry. Am aleays amazed at the amount my GGS can stuff into that lil' body.
Hope everybody has a great weekend. WW
