Enjoyed with Kobe beef bao buns, black angus rib eye steak, Kobe beef and chorizo dumplings, and roasted zucchini — a month ago
A distinguished glowing black-garnet red color followed by bouquet that captures ripe plum, fig, cacao, leather and vanilla spices. Full bodied, with balanced tannins and savory flavors of blackberry and plum. I’m partial to those Italians but this one takes the cake! — 8 months ago
