I had the pleasure of ordering this bottle twice at NYC's Otto restaurant, owned by Mario Batali (who's notorious for his personal [excessive] wine drinking habits and very extensive wine lists). This bottle of wine goes with almost ANYTHING. It went deliciously well with the 2 pasta dishes as well as the pizzas - it compliments the cheeses, the sauces, the meats all in one harmonious balance that is so rare to find accomplished so variably and well. Texturally I would describe it as chewy - nice dry bite, great body but not overwhelming. It is both wonderful as a drinking wine as well as paired with food. Top notes of stone fruit and berries with wonderful candy flavors - I had a distinct memory of those 80's style red lollipop candies. As the evening progressed, the wine developed more complex flavors reminiscent of the fall....truly a wonderful experience!
