Thursday, October 8, 2015 - Dark red color, pale edge. Expressive nose: huge pencil box, cedar shavings, wood smoke, pipe tobacco, celeriac, kirschwasser, plum wine. Wow, I could sniff this happily all night. On arrival, very smooth fine tannin and low-medium acidity. Flavors match the nose in type, but not quite in equal intensity. Medium finish. Delightful wine and a real treat with oak-grilled skewers of wine marinated sirloin tips, mushrooms, red bell pepper and onion. Bottle #2 of three.
