Paired with chicken parm. Not great. Not bad. Bit drier than anticipated. Due to age?

Big and full fruit but still smooth, dry but not puckeringly. Full body. Cherry, low tannin.

It has all the tastes sour sweet fruity tannins and alcohol. The good thing about it is the tastes are quite balanced.

Nice, full flavor, cherry taste present. Dry, but too easy to see as an, "ah, well, now that it's open I *have* to finish it..." wine. 8/10
