Reviewed February 6, 2010

Score: 98/100

Tasting Note: Drop-dead gorgeous! One of the world’s great wines to try before you die. Is it worth the price? Only you can decide that. Generous aromas of dark fruit, exotic spice, mint, and savoury meaty notes. Such incredible resonance across the palate: the flavours just play with each other for your pleasure. Then it all finishes in a spectacular fireworks of flavour and hedonism. I am undone.

More pairings: chicken club sandwich, fish: light fleshed: broiled, pasta bolognese, pizza: Ambrosia, pizza: cheese, pizza: pepperoni/meat, spaghetti with meat sauce. More pairings...
