This is one of the wines made by Caves Alianca using Bordeaux’s Michel Rolland as consultant. It has all the hallmarks of a Rolland wine: a smooth, polished purple color; soft, rich new wood flavors with dark tannins, and firm, juicy fruits. But it is an international wine, missing a regional identity. It gets high marks for craftsmanship, not so high for individuality. —R.V. ——R.V.(12/31/2002)—— 89
