A dark, rich, ripe wine. Black and fruit-forward with deep bold raspberry, plum, and pepper. There are notes of roasted meat, bitter chocolate, and balsamic vinegar on the big, long finish. There’s not a touch of age on this wine yet. It’s muscular and firm. It’s great with dark chocolate, lamb, brisket, and sausages. It’s excellent with olives and tapenade, peppers, and cheese.
