“Compressed into espresso scents and iron-hard tannins, this wine needs a day of air to show itself. The extract evolves into rich, sweet cherry flavor, the tannins grow more classical, a peppery caress. Built to age for ten years or more, this requires hours in a decanter if you open it now. Grilled sausages pick up on the wine’s complex tannin and bring out its compelling spice.”
