it's hard to ripen bordeaux red varietals in monterey, but this was a good vintage and mirassou has some good vineyards. the fruit is scented with blackberries and plums and even deeper notes of chocolate, espresso, and smoked meat. there's also a generous dose of oak. it drinks fine and dry, and captures that magical quality of finesse and elegance despite its size, which is considerable. a plush, opulent wine.
