The 2001 Finisterre is an innovative blend of Syrah and Alicante, deep and blackish in color with a balsamic blackberry and black currant nose, very potent and penetrating. The substantial palate, sustained by firm tannins and warmed by the alcohol, finishes long and strong and with an accelerating intensity of flavor. Judging the aging potential of this first year of production is not easy, but the wine should provide much pleasure between 2005 and 2014. Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900
