The next night I had dinner at home with the family, and brought this wine back from the store to dry with the chicken pasta cheese dish my mother made. It was a nice full ruby red wine that smelled very earthy and even reminded me a little of coffee. Much of the usual fruity smell I get from those new world wines was absent, as expected, and it was heavy on the tannins and exploded with all kinds of flavor at the start. The finish was less exciting in terms of flavor, but the chicken, mozzarella and cottage cheese from the dish really helped balance it out and brought out more complexity to it. Now I know why they say to drink these wines with food!
