Intense, strong and unforgiving. Sweet, red berries and red fruits, crushed berries, a little bit jammy at times, but it doesn’t lose its structure. Definitely some plum flavors going on here and kind of a dusty and kind of a wood smoke thing going on. Intense with Gouda cheese and unexpectedly went well with a very meaty lasagna.

Feb 21st, 2026Intense. Crushed red fruit and violets and yippee plums. I thought the intensity might tone down a bit, but even after a few hours open still is a bit daunting to drink. Not bad, but it’s definitely an experience. I had it with some basic rotisserie chicken and I’m thinking something with more fat would’ve been more appropriate for a wine like this.
