Coravin Taste: Cherry, raspberry, some tannins and funk on the end. Seemed a little tight. I had with grilled pork -- which was just an ok pairing. Perhaps with pizza? Perhaps another year of age will do it good?

Finished with pizza with sausage and pepperoni. Good pairing but this wine could have aged a little more, too.
