Another surprise from my brother in law, a Brazilian wine. Brazil?!
The 2007 Brazilio, a blend of Syrah and Cabernet, started smooth, quite tasty, but I sensed it would fall apart like so many inexpensive wines do after they get some air. An earthy and rustic nose, adding cedar, leather and black cherry notes over the evening. A smooth, dark berry finish - nothing flashy, but it didn't fall apart either. Surprisingly good, and a steal at this price.

Score: 15.5/20

I've never tasted any Brazilian wines! Thanks for the savvy post, I'll have to look out for any wines from Brazil so I can opine on the quality. Cheers~
