Beautiful Rich, dark magenta hue with musty aromas of spicy red berry and spiced plum with notes of cocoa cream.
Palate--Tart, mouth watering acidity, nearly overpowering the fruit that is trying to break out. Spicy mid palate with bitter cranberry rescues this structurally BIG wine.
This is a BIG wine, that needs to come into its own which could take a few more years. The acidity is overpowering at this time. I will be pairing it with dinner which is oven roasted, salted chicken thighs with roasted root vegetables. It will handle everything quite well but is certainly not backing down.
I would love to try this wine in another 5 years. I paid $14 for it which is a nice price point. Raise a glass!
