This wine was a gift from someone -- my group most likely though I don't actually recall -- and we opened it tonight because Jean needed a low acid wine for a sensitive stomach.
nose: initially, berryish fruit, turning smoky later palate: a hint of acid, smooth tannins, thick mouthfeel (15% ABV)
Better than expected, this wine was fairly appealing in a soft, fruity, low acid kind of way. Hard to imagine what food would pair well with it (maybe grilled meat?) but it made for a decent digestif.
