2005
Barossa
Australia
It calmed my frazzled state in one swallow with a hint of oak and a wee bit of smoke, and a lasting finish.
I loved this wine. It was rich in color and big in cherry flavor with a soothing warm sensation going down. I would highly recommend it, especially for the price. Cellar recommendations are now through 2015.
Accompaniment to beef, poultry, curry dishes and chocolate! I had it alone and with semi-sweet dark chocolate and LOVED it both ways.
(Wine Spectator gave it a 91.)
8.25 out of 10
