"The 2005 Manu is 40% Syrah, 40% Garnacha, and the balance
Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot aged for 13
months in seasoned oak barrels. Opaque purple-colored, it offers
up a super-expressive bouquet of bacon, tar, mineral, pencil lead,
blueberry, black raspberry, and licorice. Smooth-textured,
layered, ripe, and sweetly-fruited, this forward, pleasurable,
lengthy effort has 2-3 years of aging potential but can be enjoyed
now and over the next 8-10 years."
