First time posting! This isn't usually my preferred red wine style but I found it at my local wine store for $60 and it seemed like a good deal to me. Having it tonight with a ribeye.
This is a big wine where you can see the shift happening from fruit flavors to something a little more tertiary. While there's some fruit here, it's more of a syrupy black fruit than something juicy like I would have expected. There's some smoke and cigar on the nose, but as the wine finishes there's a note that I can't quite make out. It's something herbaceous like some thyme or olive but it's also a little floral, and almost soapy like bubblegum. Not sure if anyone has any insight to provide.
That said, it's a lovely wine that paired perfectly with the ribeye!
