The 2005 Geol is 65% Merlot, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 8% Carinena aged for 10 months in French oak. Purple-colored, it has a Bordeaux-like perfume of spice box, vanilla, and smoky black currants. The wine is full-bodied with a solid core of spicy black fruits and firm structure but is slightly compact in the finish. Give it several years to round out and drink it through 2020.Importer: Eric Solomon, European Cellars, Charlotte, NC; tel. (704) 358-1565
