Deep reddish purple. Abundant nose of black raspberry and anise. Medium-bodied, fruit-forward palate confirms the nose adding tarry patent leather. Medium plus acidity and fuzzy medium tannins wrap it all up into a pleasant enough pairing for light carnivore fare (a shaved brisket sandwich is my current choice), though I’d look elsewhere — Cahors, perhaps? — for a substantive companion to heartier meals or cigars. Drink up if you have this vintage.
