Sniffed pencil early on that dissipated quickly. Bouquet followed up with peach, cherry, red apple and dates after emptying the glass. Chocolate notes on the exhale. Very much enjoyed the aromas.
Enjoyed it much better alone than with smoked ribs I had later. The smokey ribs overpowered the wine for me and bright out sour notes more than I liked while hindering the rest. Alone this wine showed solid amount of dark fruit with a hint of sweetness and very dark chocolate. Thin tannins.
Definitely buying this one again because it was yummy.
