This wine is rapidly becoming a favorite for its unique combination of peppery meatiness with mixed blueberry and blackberry fruit. It’s complex and compelling, with hints of coffee, tar and black olive all adding to the array of aromas and flavors. Long and richly tannic on the finish; while this is approachable now, it should also stand up to 10 years’ cellaring. Imported by Epic Wines.——J.C.(3/1/2008)—— 92
