Tasting note:

Super delicious but huge acidity, so this wine needs (cries out for) food! Big black fruit, dark chocolate. Supple and need I say, full-bodied. Have yourself a giant plate of spaghetti and meatballs or spicy sausages. Don’t forget your napkin. Food matches: spaghetti and meatballs, spicy sausages.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Dark chocolate, camphor and raisin on the nose, it coats the palate with charm and flavour – ripe juicy black Bing cherry, kirsch liqueur and spice-infused black Damson plum. It’s medium bodied, nicely textured with a mid-length lip-smacking finish that’s dry, crisp and fruity Score: 4 (out of 5) Source: Vic Harradine, winecurrent.com
