Description: Smokey on the nose with an undercurrent of fruit and rose-scented talcum powder. The attack is smooth and supple. Unexpected flavors of florals, unsweetened cotton candy, mulberry, cherry tree bark, and a hint of cardamom dance across the palate. The finish is very dry with notes of mulberry. This wine is elegantly balanced. Decanting not required. Air does change this one considerably by bringing out some dark elements, adding to its complexity. We will definitely buy this gem again.Price: A most excellent bargain at $9
