Tasting notes
The 2003 TINTO is a sexy bookend to the utterly charming 2004 reviewed last year. It is big and powerful, but coats your mouth with lush fruit. It has an intensely flavorful finish, and fine density. It should age beautifully. The 2004 (reviewed last year, 93 points) has more charm perhaps. This has more richness. Pick ‘em. Drink now-2018. Importer: W.J. Deutsch & Sons, Harrison, N.Y.; tel: (914) 251-3209.

Inky ruby. Minerally, loamy, earth-accented cherry, plum and dark berry aromas, like a young port. Broad and deep in flavor, the notes of sexy oak building with air and sweetening the ripe, almost roasted cherry and cassis flavors. Fully absorbed tannins offer solid structure. This impressive wine became sweeter and denser with air, and picked up an exotic note of spicecake.
