comments:

VC: Rich olive tapenade, coffee, blackberry, plum, and strawberry
aromas and flavors dominate this beautifully balanced, well-structured wine. Dry and very
elegant. My note: On the nose, coffee, black raspberry, cigar box and spice. Layers of flavor and depth with a long finish. Full-bodied with great finesse. Food matches: grilled leg of lamb, grilled tuna, asparagus, dark chocolate desserts.
