V: deep purple
N: blackberry, perfume, leather, plum, oak,
P: blackberry jam, leather, raspberry, vanilla, smoke
F: juicy acidity, with moderate + tannins which are well integrated after a 30 min decant. Some residual sweetness which im sure will make it a crowd pleaser. Moderate finish. Definitely no challenging flavors and overall quite delicious. Would rate higher if not for the price.
After pairing with NY strip steak with blue cheese and a pesto dressed salad, I would increase the rating to 91. crushable wine which blends fantastic with rich flavors.
