After a long day, Loz and I feasted on roast vegetables and frittata, and opened this little $20 doozy.
It's easy drinking, with dark fruit like plums, a little bit of black peppery spice, and after opening up a bit we noticed (well, Lauren noticed) lovely brown sugar/muscavado/pascal's chocolate coffee eclair lollies.
The tannins were medium, which I think is good for a wine this age. Acid a little high but dropped away fairly well.
Very nice, I like. Could be improved by another years' cellaring.
