Fantastic tannins and great compliment to grilled prime rib steaks. Incredible nose of red fruit and faint tobacco, balanced acidity and nice finish.
Thin but juicy, & at a reasonable price
Description: Medium dark ruby in colour with a medium intense nose. This wine features plums, dark cherry, raspberry, white and black peppers and dry herbs. Medium body with medium to medium+ tannins, good acidity and a long length.
Negatives: None, however this wine does not live up to Wine Spectator's score of 90.
Drink now or in the next 5 of years on its own or pair it with Seared Lamb Chops served with Pomegranate-Pistachio Couscous.
