Zinny says: fragrant and delicious. Nose oozes ripe essence of spicy blackberry, along with smoky gravel and yeasty fresh bread notes. Mouthfilling, rich but not jammy, it's a big but balanced wine for rustic table scraps or grilled cow parts. Beef. That's it. You know what I mean. Woof.
UPDATE: Developing intense stony mineral scent with air time.
