Eryn Krysel De Leon

Smell (bottle): licorice, smell (glass): ? Strong alcohol, color: deep garnet/ruby nearly burgundy; first taste (not decanted): very tannic, dry made my tongue raspy. Second sip (not decanted): tasted duhat or black palm fruit. Third taste (decanted): less tannic, smoother like black currant. I like it better decanted though more exciting un decanted. Medium to full bodied. Would work beautifully with a short rib bolognese with tagliatelle pasta or a birria taco dipped in consomé. Tasted great with a nutty savory basque cheese and traditional (not kettle) potato chips.

Super smooth, medium body, easy, drinking red wine.

Earthy on the nose and on your tongue. Dark deep, purple color. Not much on the backend.
