  Warning: drink this wine within a year. While acidity is still there, aromas dissipated since I last had it (last year?) nose is still great, even my wife liked it. I wonder if acidity is a little over the top.

  This Bourdeaux type blend was excellent with all sorts and types of food. Mexican spicy, veggie burgers, and beef stew. just loved the taste.

  A little boozy for my taste, Syrah and Malbec dominate this ripe, fruity red blend.

  Pretty blah. 🙁 good enough to fill the need for a glass of wine, but not remarkable in any way.

  Nose: Slightly peppery, but pleasingly so.
  Palate; bouquet of tart fruits, balanced tannins, over medium acidity, a slight bitter aftertastes as in chewing on pea shells that lingers on for a while. It is a very pleasing sipping wine. I’ll come back and update after the pot roast cooking how the pairing is.
  
  One of my cellar defenders, didn’t expect whole a lot, definitely received more than I thought I’d get.
  
  Edit: a combination of pot roast with sauce over pasta (a bit vinegary sauce). Pasta and sauce pairing: meh. Just beef: much better. As expected, the vinegar sauce killed the wine. Just the pot roast paired well.
