Although past its expected tasting lifetime, still an enjoyable wine. Not as rich and deep cherry notes as it once had, but still peppery, and worked well with the tomato based dinner we were having.

Peppery bite, burnt toast ( the good part of the flavor, not the 'why did I bite into that?') rich black cherry and whiskey barrel. Aroma is tannic with hints is ancient Roman ruins. A sense of awe yet humble.

Nice! Almost salty at first, roast meat and floral aromas compete; lush, rich, and just the right amount of density of flavor once it opened up; well worth finding again.

A wonderful blend. Paired nicely with home made pizza.
