Overall:
If you've ever opened a really good bottle of wine there is a smell that is unmistakable- this was on par. Ancient Peaks is a medium/heavy rich red wine that is clearly intended to be served with food. I picture it being a great compliment to that Sunday early evening meal (pasta, red meat, stew anything hearty). Well I'm not terribly particular, this is more a cold-weather wine- not something for July 4th. Similarly, trying to slug this down with catching a buzz in mind is not how "she" would best be remembered.
Deeper:
Soft, silky and maybe velvety would describe it best on the front end. It finishes with this nice kinda spice that's NOT annoying. I'd consider her a lady with a conservative dress on top matched perfectly with some red heels on the bottom that scream she's hardly boring or to be overlooked. Allow time for it to breathe.
If I'm you? Buy two of these... Drink one now and put the other on a shelf. Daddy's got a hunch this puppy could be solid in 2013.
