Winery Review: Dark purple. Zesty, youthfully medicinal aromas of dark berries, licorice and cracked pepper. Juicy and fresh, with smooth texture and sweet cherry and spice flavors framed by dusty tannins. Finishes with a suggestion of slightly roasted fruits and good clinging persistence. Delivers a lot of power and richness for the money. 88 points - Stephen Tanzer.
My Review: This came with a very earthy scent, almost similar to a moldy cork but in a good way. It was dry with good tannin structure. I definitely detected with roasted fruits as described above.
I did not try this with food.
