Good for dinner, unobtrusive, smooth, and a little dry.

Big, dark & a bit of bitterness. Nice fruit, not pruny. Like it a lot!

Full and round, but the tannins are very soft. Aromas and flavors of earth and tobacco with black cherry and plum notes. Hints of baking spices. Nice acidity which keeps the wine very balanced. Full bodied and robust. Pleasant surprise.
