Cork Condition: Natural Cork - no defects or issues.
Appearance: Wine is clear, dark purple at the core with a water white rim.
Aroma: Very nice dark fruit like black cherry and boysenberry with a touch of vanilla and oak.
The Grade: I give this one an A. This wine was a super companion to Julia's Beef Bourguignon, and would be a great complement to steaks, lamb and any read meat you threw on the grill. Nice fruity flavor, nicely balance. A little bit on the expensive side, but a great weekend wine to go with a special weekend meal.
