This is one of the four wines that was served at my birthday dinner party. I had never heard of the producer, but it is quite nice - from Rosenthal. Jamie left a bottle at my house last week, so I figured I would try it on a fresh palate, as the last time I had it, I had imbibed a Hendrick's Gibson and some Bastianich Tocai.
On the nose, immense black fruit with woody notes, cigar box, button mushrooms, beefy hints hints of earth and licorice. A little closed on the palate, with fine tannins, and some high cherry notes. Plush mouth feel with a a dry finish. Good on its own, but would benefit from food.
