Totally agree with Rich S on the black/blue fruit. I also paired with spicy lamb (spaghetti), and the alcohol kicked the hell out of it. Which is ok, because I kind of like that.

2 hour decant. Fruit is minimal, but what is there is very dark. Big wine with big tannins, but are fairly well-integrated. Loved it on its own, but would have been nice to enjoy it with a ribeye.

Great nose, but quite fruity. It kind of reminded of Clarendon Hills' Syrah efforts, that always have a bit of a zinfandel persuasion, but enjoyable. Very short finish with not much backbone on the end, but seemed to be above average acidity, so it was a good food wine.
