Look: Medium- garnet, with very slight browning and slight bricking
Nose: wet forest floor, black truffle, barnyard/horse, tobacco/cigar box, cherry, light mint
Palate: cherry, orange peel; long+ finish of minerality, dry herbs (not too bitter), black tea, orange, light forest; dry; medium- body; medium, fine, suede-like tannins; medium+ acidity
Overall: Outstanding nose (both complex and expressive), great structure, and great balance, with a complex and incredibly long finish to top it all off. Really great wine!
Paired beautifully with a black truffle pizza
