Shop review: "Aromas of black fruits, smoked meats, coffee, and mocha characteristics with a medium full palate impression and lengthy, superb finish.  Tannins are subdued and round, evident upon opening, but dissipate with a short time in the glass.  Excellent typicity of the "little" appellation next to Pomerol." -Vintage Cellar, 2014
My review: The wine poured a rich red color with scents of cherries, coffee, and mocha.  Coffee and meats were evident on the tongue.  The tannins were soft upon finish.  
Food: The attendant pouring at the counter suggested that the wine be paired with the cheese provided at the tasting to bring out the flavors.  I followed in her suggestion and was impressed that it paired well with the flavors of coffee and cherry in the wine.
