This wine is very dark, with no light getting through in the glass. The nose is complex, with blackberry, black currant, and anise aromas. There’s even an herbal hint, which I take as eucalyptus. The palate is just as dark, with the fruit standing forward and a savory streak behind it. The tannins are quite forceful, while the acidity adds a bright counterpoint to the darkness of the other facets. I don’t know if the wine was made for brisket, but that’s how I’m pairing it.
