this wine is powerful enough to serve with wild boar carpaccio, if there is such a thing, or with blue cheese like a port. the color is unusually dark and opaque, a stark black with a faintly purple rim. it smells spicy and tastes very concentrated, like blackberry jam, wood smoke and black pepper. the texture is almost thick and drenched with fine tannins while the body is quite full as well.
