There is a dry and astringent quality to the tannins that might need to smooth itself out with a few more years of cellar aging. Otherwise, the wine would pair with ravioli stuffed with minced meat and topped with extra cheese.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipSecContent_copy\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipSecContent_copy\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProfessionalReviews_list\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProfessionalReviews_rating\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wineRatings_initials\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProfessionalReviews_review\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipSecContent_copy\"\u003eRipe and generous with currants, plums and spice, as well as chocolate character.
