Some raspberry and floral notes. Some bell pepper flavors. It seems to need food. FAIR 1995 Chateau Romanin, Les Baux de Provence Dark red in color. Rich nose of black olives and dark fruits.
Flavors follow through on the palate.
A bit of a green streak, but not enough to detract. Muga Rioja Gran Riserva, Prado Enea Dusty cherries and spice. Resolved tannins and very smooth texture. Nice, but unexciting. Big, explosive, complex nose of flowers, cedar, tobacco and cherry.
