I must say that this wine was properly decanted before I
tried it (it sat in a glass on the table next to my bed
while I snoozed for several hours). This, of course,
allowed the smell to waft slowly into my nostrils and share
its secrets with me. And I smelled dark fruits, very deep
and dark at that!
The taste is pretty much the same, filled with
blackberries and dark plums, but also with a diversion into
smoke and cocoa. This wine is a winner.
I would pair this with just about anything, from lighter
fare to heavy fare, as it will impart its beauty to any
dish, no matter what it is. This wine stands on it's on as
well, and it does that quite astutely.
