  July 29, 2019 - I decanted this from cellar temperature and started to drink, but it wasn't that great: dark fruit, but acidic and dry and not at all smooth.
  
  However, an hour later it had settled down, and I was pleased to discover that this is a red wine that has the oomph to pair well with moderately spicy food (in this case some pasta with a hot chilli pesto). Then a little sweetness is added to the fruit, the acidity is muted, and it complements the food very well.
  
  I love spicy food, but I'm not a fan of the traditional pairings of rieslings or similar, so this is definitely going on my buy list as a wine for chilli!
