Vintage Cellar Review:
The grapes are soft pressed and the juice is placed in stainless steel along with the skins for a maceration of 8 to 10 days with daily pumping over of the juice to extract more color and sweet tannins. Dense ruby red with violet reflections. Lush and ripe bouquet full of mulberries, blackberries and spice. Harmonious and well balanced with good berry fruit in a spicy background. Excellent with lamb, grilled and barbecued meats, dishes with olives or capers and seasoned cheeses.
My Review:
As mentioned previously, I have a hard time distinguishing the differences in red wines. However the spices of this wine came through very clearly and hit me immediately when it touched my tongue. I also could taste a very deep wood and earth note.
I did not have any food while tasting this wine.
