Notes:

 👅 Dry. Mulberry, eucalyptus, herbs, antiques.  I have loved this wine for about three years in a row.  Often, the flavor changes drastically from first opening to each hour that passes; and I recommend it best fresh and completely in the night it was opened.  Why?  I sense a component that enables rapid flavor degradation from its beautiful peak.  Flavor-wise, it’s a little meaty, savory, and herbal. I would pair this with various beef dishes that have a high aromatic component of wine broth and/or aromatic veggies with fresh herbs: stew, bourgogne, corned beef, and pot roast, or grilled veggies.
