Very nice red fruit notes, strawberry mostly, with a touch of raspberry. Smokiness begins to emerge over time.
Served with Smitten Kitchen’s summer vegetable and farro casserole on a cold March night in Chicago. The wine was a very solid pairing, complemented the wine quite nicely. Opened the wine about two hours ago and it just keeps getting more complex and flavorful.

This is a very fruit forward way but not in an overpowering way. Lots of strawberry and black cherry make it a tad sweet so better to pair with a light meat (pasta with truffled ragu) than a steak. Decanted and it was open after an hour.

Starting to brick. Perhaps a bit past its prime.
Still tasty.
