12/2/2008: Not rating as I'm sure storage conditions were not ideal.

Wine is dark garnet, full bodied. Nose has some heat and an umistakeable tequilla smell, which carries on over to the finish. Oak is a bit heavy handed and this strikes me as a cross between cherry syrup and tequilla. Maybe I should have done the Mollydooker Shake? Good wine for it's intent - after 5:00 bottle in the office.
