Winery: O. Fournier / Uco Valley
Big, dark and masculine, with minty, chocolaty, robust aromas and plenty of residual oak. Calling this wine a “load” is an understatment; it’s massive, with flavors of blackberry, gumball, cassis, pepper and mint. Finishes that way, too. A brawny wine that’s in its prime. Drink now through 2013.
