Tobacco, earth and tree bark make for a bouquet that doesn’t hit you over the head. Still, it has red fruit galore. The palate is tight, ripe and chock full of proper acidity and tannins. A lively wine with vanilla and oak coming on late. Solid stuff. Imported by Vias Imports. ——M.S.(7/1/2005)—— 90
