Slight dark fruits, cassis and loads of dried herbs. Capsicum driving underneath the fruit. Acidity was a little out of balance, but that may resolve with age. Fairly linear but overall not a bad effort.

In a great place now; excellent balance, perfect with food. Drank with meatloaf (no tomato sauce), polenta and Lima beans. Also great drinking on its own.

Lovely, black fruit, good balance. Drank with filet mignon (an obvious choice), sorghum and zucchini one day and roasted maitake mushrooms, edamame, roasted carrots the next. Complimented all the vegetables beautifully.
