Tasting
A dense, dark red in the glass the nose gives charry oak, and meaty tones to deep dark fruits.
The palate shows a wine that has fruit as a secondary influence, oak is savoury and smokey, complementing the charcuterie like nature of the wine.
The finish is drying and leathery, I expect the fruit to come out over time with this wine needing time in the cellar to show its best.
