Hint of vanilla on the nose, dark fruit, very well balance with intense tannin. Delicious wine, especially after it opened up.

Institute of Culinary Education wine tasting class.
Super great wine. Dark intense colors.
Round, lush smell. Rich ripe dark blackberry and plums.
Dense taste, dusty, tannic.
Red meats roasted, complex sauces best food pairing.
