Vintage Cellar description- Dark, ruby-red color with violet highlights. Intense and fragrant bouquet with a rich array of red and black fruit aromas and flavors. Harmonious and velvety on the palate. Great balance and structure.  Excellent with grilled or roasted meats, game and cheeses.

My description: This wine had a lot of spice flavors on the nose.  I tasted black pepper, mixed with dark fruit flavors.  The wine itself was a deep red color.  I did not have this wine with food.
