Dark red with an embrowned rim. Dark berries with a hint of raw meat aromas. Slightly sweet yet robust, gripping and intertwined. Complex! Medium to high intensity. There are about five different layers to this wine between beginning and end: dried figs, anise, leather, iron, and an arresting tannic finish.
After several hours in the open it becomes considerably less austere; a bit more refined but equally complex. The same five layers are still there, they just seem to transition much better. The finish is equally arresting!
Excellent wine paired with marbled ribeye; the gripping tannings cut the fatty meat exquisitely.
