The wine is deep ruby, providing pronounced aromatics of black currants, violets, cherry cola with hints of green coffee bean and baking spice. The palate has a robust structure with a velvety texture, leading into flavors of black cherry cola and dark chocolate with hints of baking spices and leather wrapped around medium plus tannins and acid. This wine could be enjoyed alone or with some grilled lamb chops with rosemary, sage, and garlic or with stuffed mushrooms.
