New Year’s Eve celebration, and 2 days after. Seems beyond its prime. May need to drink this wine 3 to 4 years from release. Disappointing for a wine valued at $45 / bottle and high ratings. Glad it was a gift and I did not spend any money on it. Some lingering hints of possible past quality in bouquet and taste, with some clove, vanilla, and glimmers of spice on short finish, but nothing notable enough to recommend. Paired moderately well with charcuterie, but could not stand up to steak. Interesting enough to finish the bottle, but would not buy or recommend.

Dark red, medium intensity in the nose and drank PNP with barbecue chicken. Really interesting mixture of grapes. Big time layers of fruit and spice that complemented the food. Very well balanced. Nothing out of place. Youthful but drinks well now.
