Inky in the glass, the wine coats the bowl similarly to the palate and opens with aromas of plum, blackberry jam, chocolate-covered blueberries, vanilla and anise. Full-bodied and packed with lush dark fruit, violets and sweet spices, it has chewy tannins and balancing acidity, finishing very long. Dense, bold and delicious.

Food Pairings: Not to be overshadowed by sweet and spicy barbecue sauces, enjoy with pork ribs, short ribs, brisket, burgers, flank steaks and stir-frys with Chinese plum sauce.
