Great with TexMex. Black pepper flavours & spice is stronger after refrigeration.

Fat and quick legs for a red; smell: leather, coffee beans, espresso, tobacco shop, BBQ; taste: pomegranate, light cherries, plums. Medium finish. Nice kick at the end.

For this price i would expect something more balance between oak flavors and fruit ( bacon and smokiness def too predominant), i would like to try this wine with some aging and see if this wine shows more integration between oak and fruit

Great example of a "pooey" wine. A little tar on the nose.
