Wine Review: "Nearly black in the glass with a deep purple rim. Scents of black plum, cured green and black olives, orange pulp and smoky bramble dominate the nose. The palate is a deep and luxurious expression of ripe black and red fruit flavors followed by dried meat tones and sweet herbs. This powerful blend is boosted by supple acidity and the wine finishes with subtle tannins.
Works beautifully with leg of lamb, grilled venison, wild boar sausages, roasts." --Jenny & Francois
My Review: This was another one of my favorites at the tasting at the Vintage Cellar. It was very balanced from the first taste to the subtle tannin finish. It was very complex with the taste of dark fruit, olives and smokiness. Great wine.
