The wine is a bright ruby color in the glass, with great clarity, somewhat reminiscent of a Pinot Noir. The nose presents aromas of red currant, pomegranate, lavender and a bit of strawberry, plenty of ripe red fruit to arouse your interest. The taste is a rush of cherry, currant and red raspberry that transitions to some wonderfully earthy notes of tar and tobacco, with undertones of vanilla and caramel midpalate. The tannins are well behaved and nicely integrated, providing for a long, dry finish.
Overall, I would rate this wine a solid 8, as it's just a pleasant drinking wine that would pair well with a broad range of hard to pair dishes, like Thai green curry, lighter fish dishes, or Indian food, which is what I'm pairing this wine with tonight, as I'm enjoying it with some chicken and vegetable Biryani over jasmine rice (I realized today I was out of basmati rice, so what else can you do during a pandemic?). Cheers!
