Tasting Notes
Very closed on the nose, with hints of bitter chocolate and herbs. Taut and full-bodied on the palate, slightly rough, a motif of lime minerality and a hint of green, dried tomato in the back aromas, lively acidity, needs a grilled lamb chop or something similarly robust to accompany it.
