We brought this wine to dinner at Cafe Du Jour, which is one of our favorite BYOB establishments in Pittsburgh.
The color of the wine was very pale burgundy, almost with a brown tint to it. It had a complex nose, with an old-world aroma of dirty forest and black fruit. On the palate, it had plenty of dark berry and cherry fruit elements, with some more aromatic clove-like tones. It had noticable but not overbearing tannins and a nice medium finish. It paired very well with both of our meals. Good, solid wine and highly recommended as a French-style burgundy from America.
