Pairs well with red meats such as beef, veal, or braised meats, tomato based pasta, aged cheeses, or cured meats.

"Underbrush, sunbaked earth, leather and camphor aromas shape the nose. On the chewy, full-bodied palate, firm tannins support fleshy black cherry, licorice and tobacco. Drink through 2025."
