The high alcohol gives this wine heat, a chili pepper kind of burn that isn't exactly unpleasant. It seasons the rich blackberry and black cherry flavors, and causes the tastebuds to crave the alleviating effects of food. Grilled lamb would be perfect. Finishes sweet, which for me reduces the score a point.
