A total bang-for-the-buck, this wine shows great depth of flavor, with notes of blackberry bush, black pepper, fennel, tinned black olive, pill box, star anise and cacao. The palate is generously filled with mouthcoating tannins, adding a structural backbone against the alcohol. The perfect companion to any hearty meal. Best Buy. Score - 90.
