Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: An intriguing, fragrant, fruity and complex nose offering blackberry, strawberry and chocolate mousse notes along with a lifted perfumed quality. The palate is dry and medium-full bodied with loads of concentrated dark fruit accented by peppery spice and toasty oak. The tannins are soft and well integrated. Good balance and structure throughout, with a medium-long finish. Wonderful. My note: Black and brooding with a smooth, supple texture. Full-bodied with some dark spice… nice juiciness for many hearty meat dishes. Food matches: beef brisket.

Yes, I'm a certified sommelier and was named the World's Best Wine Writer at the World Food Media Awards. Blah, blah, blah. What really matters is that I know which wines can increase your hedonistic happiness... a lot. Don't worry, spam doesn't pair well with wine!
