Imported by Kermit Lynch, purchased for $12.50, 12% Alcohol.

I had intended to let this rest for a while longer, but in going through my cellar I discovered one with a leaking cork, so here it is in my glass. Thankfully, it is no worse for the leakage. Nice dark, translucent color of raspberry. Nose is full, warm, and comforting, with mocha, dried roses, a just a bit of green vegetal notes that is the only detraction. Tart acidity is striking, and tannins are firm, with a bit of dried cherries showing faintly through. For now, 86 EW points, but should improve with a couple more years in the cellar. QPR: B

Tasted again 02/05: Very nice vibrant ruby color and clear, the nose is quite pleasant with aromas of blueberries, spice, and a touch of smoke. High acidity on the palate, with moderate fruit and fairly light body, with moderate tannins that seem slightly under ripe (slightly bitter) . Finishes short but pleasant enough. 85 points.
