Perfumed and floral on the nose. Violets and roses. Flavor is juicy and full. Some smoke and plenty of tannins. Balanced and lovely.

Black berry and tobacco up front with a really interesting transition that I can't place but quite enjoyed.

Paired this really nicely with braised short rib and ricotta cavatelli. It's very earthy and smells like a barn, but I'm into it.
