The 2005 Aljibes Syrah displays alluring aromas of meat, game, underbrush, smoke, blueberry, and black cherry. On the palate it reveals an elegant personality bordering on leanness. It has enough structure to evolve for 1-2 years so perhaps it will fill out and merit an outstanding rating. These new releases from Bodega Los Aljibes demonstrate what can be achieved by talented vignerons working in selected regions of La Mancha. Bodegas Los Aljibes is one of the up-and-coming stars of La Mancha.Importer: Casa Ventura Imports, Bellingham, WA; Tel. (360) 303-1760
