The warm growing conditions of 2019 gave enticing aromas of black fruits, olive, spices, tobacco, and lead pencil. Deep red in color and in the mouth the wine offers savory blackberry fruit, mature tannins, old world texture, and a long generous finish. The wine is in brilliant proportion and is made to be consumed now. However, with proper storage, this wine should easily age five years or longer.
This wine would be fantastic with French brasserie style onglet steak au poivre.
