I decanted this and let it sit for a while. It was delectable. Smoke and jam on the nose turns into nice crushed fruit and juicy and tannic delight. Nice long finish. Low acid let's you enjoy this with an array of food. I enjoyed it with beef arepas. Cab Franc from Italy? Yes please!

Starts off with a barnyard-y, smoky nose, but gets more fruity and herbal over time. Taste is near-ripe dark berries, bell pepper, earth, leather. A little something yeasty, maybe. Tannic. Wasn’t sure at first, but it definitely gré on me.

Juicy complex fresh somewhat light style. Intersting dusty flavors and fruitiness
