Color: dense, dark ruby with garnet tints. Nose: beautiful fruit-forward profile with sour cherry, a hint of white pepper, bay leaf, and fine spices. Palate: rich and fairly strong first taste. Evolves on a well-built mid-palate with savory notes. Polished tannins. Persistent and intense finish. Pairing: veal chop with pink peppercorns. Comment: a distinguished and characterful wine that will gain elegance with age.
