A playful nose whets the appetite with aromas of black
raspberries, blueberries, and prunes. Concentrated, slightly jammy
fruit. Hints of truffles, wet earth, pepper, and other spices
round out the nose. Tart, dark fruit dominates the palate. Mouth
coating. Weighty, with grippy tannins and an almost chewy
texture. Floral hints on the mid-palate. Moderate acidity. Baking
chocolate emerges on a dry, medium-length finish. Well-integrated
flavors. Good balance and generous structure. Verging on
full-bodied. A fruity, juicy, generously proportioned wine.
Food pairing: Roast or stewed beef in sauce
