Great wines have a range of being great – drink young, drink aged; sip or drink with foods. Which causes some problems with wine like this. Of course, you could drink this wine with food, but it would be much more appealing to enjoy by itself. That because it’s a big wine that will overpower most dishes, unless you’re eating something that is very spicy or very rough. But it’s a very sipping wine, one perfumed with purple and black fruits – blackberries and blueberries – with lots of dusty tannins and Baker’s chocolate.
