Great food wine at good price. This was my second/last bottle. Decanted, which is advisable due to sediment. Big and bold, with old world feel. Paired very nicely with grilled lamb/Mediterranean food. Paired previously with pizza. Will get more of this.

No notes taken, but this is quite impressive for the price. Flavors of dark fruit are complimented nicely with strong tobacco notes. Great acidity makes this food friendly, but it is also excellent on its own.

Decanted for several hours. Lots of sediment in this one (unfined/unfiltered). Palate was medium bodied with an initial tartness. Good fruit flavors and and easy to enjoy by itself. Finish was dry and tannic. I would repeat purchase. 4,12,15,6=87

Nose of cherry and licorice. Chewy, tannic; black cherry and stone fruit tastes. Delicious paired with Brie, fig cake, and crackers.
