I was in search of a full-bodied wine with richness and silky tanins that melted in my mouth like chocolate, oak, and espresso with just an ever so faint acidity. I think I missed that mark every so slightly with this wine. I could see this being delicious with a rich steak or curry, but I had it with grilled veggies and it lacked in being a well-rounded option. As I continued to have it throughout the meal, it became more appreciated but it took me into 1.15 glasses worth to fell that way. I definitely would not disregard it, I just think it was better suited for a shared experience and I enjoyed it alone.
