Medium garnet hue with bricking at the rim. Aromas of sweet spring flowers at the rim, cigar ash, sweet cherry confectionary. There's more fighting to the surface but this is right upon opening.
Palate-- Mouth filling, juicy acidity, slightly bitter tannic note (a nice kind that I love!) pie cherry filling.
This was the perfect pairing with our rib roast, roasted root vegetables, mashed potatoes and gravy. It will continued to open as the dinner went on and of course there was nothing left to cork... This was a house warming gift from a special guy and very appreciated. Raise a glass!
