Decanted for about an hour. On the palate, this had fine mouth coating tannins that weren’t overly aggressive that subsided as the dinner went on. Flavor wise, there was plenty of raspberry, currant/cherry and a savory note that were superb. There was a peppery kick that made me lean towards cool climate Syrah, and even though it had 11.6% ABV it was drinking larger than it really was. Great acidity and was an excellent food pairing for all sorts of grilled meats that were featured at San Ho Won. There wasn’t enough tannin to clash with the spice, although I can’t shake what an aged auslese or spatlese could have supplied in the same pairing.
