Aging quite nicely with a bright nose of mixed berries, wonderful, refreshing dark fruit on the palate with well integrated acidity and tannins. Good balance. Mellow, lasting finish. Pair with pizza, bar-b-que or red pasta dishes.

Aerated and Decanted 6 hrs. prior to pairing with beef shank, slowly braised with mirepoix and wine/tomato sauce and roasted carrots and potatoes. Deep, dense glass staining inky egg[;amt in color. Dark fruit, cherries, spice and minerals on the nose. Cherry fruit bomb, like a reduction of cherries, blueberries and plum. Very compact, powerful spine. Structured, silky tanins framed with wood bark. The finish lingers with hints mixed fruits, including apple notes and spice.
