This has been decanted and open a while, so on top of the aging, it’s quite soft. Delicate & fruit-forward. Juicy notes of fresh plum, raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, fig, & cranberry. Pure juice. Soft tannins. Cocoa nibs on the finish. Subtle leather on the finish. Elegant wine.

Dark fruit. Refined and elegant with incredible smoothness. Paired with oxtail cavatelli
