Aria Guest Chef Dinner (Bardot Brasserie Restaurant, Las Vegas, NV): This medium-to-deep ruby wine delivers a core of black and red cherry fruit that is augmented with baking spices, damp earth, cocoa and tobacco. Medium-bodied, tart and firmly tannic, it has good mid-palate density, nicely-woven alcohol (13%) and fairly well-integrated oak. The finish is lengthy but is borderline acerbic and laden with coarse tannins. Give this some time in the cellar to sort itself out. A higher score may be warranted in the future. Drink 2022-2029.
