Winery review: Ruby red color with purple reflections. Intense vinous bouquet with hints of violets and dark cherry fruit. The flavor is full of ripe fruit and a hint of spice. It is well balanced and dry. The finish is persistent and satisfying.
Personal review: The nose on this was extremely reminiscent of acetone and blackberries. There was a much higher tannic quality and a fuller body to this wine compared to the reds we have been given in the past. There were underlying spice notes of clove and nutmeg that balanced out the earthy quality of this wine. The finish was not short on this one as it lingered for around forty-five seconds. This tasting was not paired with food, but I would pair this with a gamier, red meat such as lamb or pot roast. I could see this going well with a Mediterranean dish, because the underlying spice notes would compliment the spices typically used in that cuisine.
