The nose is a lovely blend of plums, licorice, and earth. The palate displays deep, plummy fruit with licorice and dusty note. The acidity is there but is not the primary note in this concert. Structurally, the tannins are evident but not intrusive. Overall, there is a solid fruit core with licorice and some rustic tannins round out the package. It goes well with grilled food such as chicken or pork.

A bit tannic, but I still love Acorn wines!
