Gobs of great fruit. Hot at open, then balanced after one hour. Dark flavor profile. Tanins are a little rough, but still very beautiful and enjoyable.

This is a big, bold wine. On the nose, blackcurrant and blueberries take a lot of leather, tobacco, allspice and licorice along for the ride. The palate is rich with blackberries and plums, with savory aspects equally forceful. The tannins are somewhat stiff, but would be welcome with a big, fatty steak on the plate. A zippy acidity embraces the wine’s minerality, providing a lip-smacking refreshment.

I call this wine an american muscle car made in France, big black fruit, a lot of alcohol...Just what I need for Chicago winter:). It tastes much better after it's been decanted for a while.
