2005 Ferrando Carema (white label) 13.5%

[Oswaldo Costa]

Smells classy, elegant, red fruits and tar, hint of crushed flowers. Foodworthy acidity, attractive weight and tannins, fine balance. Won't win any complexity prizes, but will carry a few for well-rounded satisfaction. And made by a gentleman.

No aerator this time, eh?

The resident anti-vacuvin lobby seemed to think it was full of hot air; that took the wind out of my sails.
