Nice wine. Had it w steak but red sauce would have done the trick. Maraschino cherry, black currant, a little tobacco, not too juicy, slight cola aftertaste. Would drink again.

This needs time. Plenty of time. I decanted 3 hours, then drank it over days and still quite tannic and lots of acidity. Closed at first, but the nose is opening with inky ripe blackberry, black currants, little bit of vanilla, and a touch of menthol. The palate is more tart currant and blackberry pits with menthol and tree bark. For the price I’d buy a few, start drinking in 3-5 years+, then have each year thereafter.

Delicious. Earthy with nice, but not overwhelming, tannins.

Herbsceous, fruity, peppery and minerality in the finish. A nice suggestion by the somm and a good summer option.
