Inky/purple-colored, with notes of sweet, smoked cherries, melted asphalt, and a hint of cocoa, this full-bodied, heady offering must tip the scales at 15-16% alcohol. Nevertheless, it is pure and ripe, with a hint of raisins and prunes in its silky-textured, dense flavors. It should drink well for 12-15 years.Importer: Dominic Nocerino, Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY; tel. (516) 467-5907
