It's the tropical jungle wine. For as many fruits that explode in the mouth, this wine is not sweet--pretty amazing. An excellent and exquisite bottle of wine. So much going on in the taste. An amazing and complex wine.<br /> <br /> <strong>Finish</strong>: Pineapple, vanilla, banana and lavender. Just wonderful. A very surprising wine--we thought it would be good, but we weren't expecting it to be absolutely memorable.<br /> <br /> <strong>Cost</strong>:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img align="absmiddle" src="/images/3dollars.png" alt="" /><br /> <br /> <strong>Rating</strong>: <img align="absmiddle" src="/images/95stars.png" />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>9.5</strong><br /> <br /> <em>(76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot)</em> http://decanterberrytales.com/blog/2007/12/01/1196571600000.html#comments http://decanterberrytales.com/blog/2007/12/01/1196571600000.html Sun, 02 Dec 2007 05:00:00 GMT http://decanterberrytales.com/blog/2007/07/28/1185678000000.html <img alt="" src="http://dnj.netx.net/view/0147/t_14742.jpg" /><img alt="" src="http://dnj.netx.net/view/0147/t_14759.jpg" /><br /> <br /> <strong>Smell</strong>: Earthy.<br /> <br /> <strong>Taste</strong>: Moldy cork.<br /> <br /> <strong>Finish</strong>: A little thin.<br /> <br /> <strong>Cost</strong>:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img align="absmiddle" src="/images/3dollars.png" alt="" /><br /> <br /> <strong>Rating</strong>: <img align="absmiddle" src="/images/40stars.png" />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>4.0</strong> http://decanterberrytales.com/blog/2007/07/28/1185678000000.html#comments http://decanterberrytales.com/blog/2007/07/28/1185678000000.html Sun, 29 Jul 2007 03:00:00 GMT
