Winery Review: Aromas of brandy-macerated red cherries, bay laurel, duck fat, forest floor, toasty baking spices and warm vanilla. The chewy red and black fruits come through in the mouth with layers of fine tannins and just a whisper of smoldering French oak. A delicious finish ends this wine on a lush note of creme brulee topped with plum compote.
My Review: I found this to bold and very sharp. I detected the dark berries. A nice balance of tannins with oak. Finished strong on the palate. Not one of my favorites but also not bad.
I did not try this with food.
