Shop Review/ Critic Review: "Good yet generic aromas of spicy berry and ripe plum are clean and inviting. A juicy palate deals lightly baked flavors of spiced berry and cassis. A medium- long finish is tasty and feels right." - Michael Schachner.
My Review: From the initial scent, this smelled like black currents and black raspberries. It had a hint of a tart undertone with an underlying spiciness as well, perhaps a spice I can't pinpoint yet. It also had a hint of dark chocolate. At the taste, I wasn't overwhelmed with how tannic it was. It had a dark cherry flavor, with a bit of perfumy flavor, and complimented my dinner perfectly.
I paired this wine with what the restaurant we ate at recommended. I had a nice steak frites, which included a hanger steak, some parmesan and truffle fries, and water cress. The steak came with a bearnaise sauce, and it's creaminess really went well with the wine.
