At times it comes across beety, but for the most part there's a fleshy, earthy solidity that goes superbly with rack of lamb or by itself. Good acidity, fine tannins, and I'm sad to see the last glass go. Very good+.

Smoky raspberry on the nose. Sweet candied fruit on the palate balanced against pleasant if rustic tannins. This wine works nicely with spicy foods that I would usually do with a riesling or gewurztraminer. Hot pepper brings out the sweetness in the fruit in the wine. Salmon, black beans, spring mix salad = tough to match a wine, esp a dry red wine like this one. Really nice.

Kicking myself for forgetting about this one. Loads of fruit. Just past its prime.
