Well worth the wait.
Pnp. Wonderful rose petal aromas. Cherry along with more rose petals and tar on the palate. Tannins are softening nicely and this wine still has many more years to go.

Fantastic wine when paired with a marinara sauce. My rating is based on consuming with a hearty tomato based sauce and pasta.
