Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, and aged in French oak for 8 months before bottling, this wine displays a distinctive New World-ish ripeness and oakiness. The dark ruby color is followed by uncomplicated aromas of jammy fruit. The wine is sweet, round, pleasant, and expansive, but easy-going and simple. It should be consumed over the next 3-4 years. It has been a long time since I tasted a Black Label Gran Coronas that recalls the great 1978 and 1981. Importer: Paterno Imports, Chicago, IL; tel. (312) 247-7070
