The 2006 Finisterre is another full-bodied red that sweeps across the palate in stunning style. This blend of Syrah and Alicante offers up an intriguing array of black cherries, plums, grilled herbs, earthiness and tar that come together in brooding, powerful expression. Sweet notes of menthol and licorice linger on the long resonating finish. This is a terrific effort from Poggio Argentiera. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2018.
