Additional comments: Very interesting and fun wine to enjoy with your meal or as a group. Initially you get a lot of dark fruit and jamminess but as it sits and opens up a little more, then you get chocolate and mocha. It's like drinking chocolate covered berries. Enjoy with a piece of dark chocolate and the jammy intensifies.
