Herbal and chocolaty nose of “Chico” lollies, yeasty darkness with crushed mint and eucalypt , briny chicken salt and garam spice. Smooth, yet crunchy palate with plenty of red and dark berries. Tannins are fine and fruit derived ensuring dark freshness. Give it a chill. Serve with tacos al pastor.
