From a technical standpoint it's extremely well-made, but why the hell do they need to use so much oak?

Smokey, good acid, a touch of gentle tannin. Chocolate and coffee. Long finish.

Amazingly vibrant, refreshing dark red juice with a spicy edge and a grippy finish. A 9 year old Malbec from Valle de Uco. Great with beef ribs!

Black cherry, currant, and mocha with a long, loamy finish. Rich and concentrated with supple tannins. Has impressive depth and structure.

It's bill's 32nd birthday and we're at Keens eating steak and mutton and this is the least tannic wine on the list (supposedly) and I'm glad I wore a loose dress.
