بينفولدز 'ماكس' كابيرنيه ساوفيجنون 2021، أستراليا

That coffee and cocoa finish really does pair perfectly with grilled meats, just like the description says. The tannins are smooth enough to drink now but I’m curious how it’ll develop in a couple years.

The dark berry and cocoa notes are really well balanced, and the tannins are smooth enough to enjoy on their own. A bottle like this makes a Tuesday night feel special.

Opened this with some coffee-rubbed ribs and the pairing was spot on — the cocoa and cassis flavors matched perfectly. The tannins are smooth enough to drink now but I can see this aging nicely for a few more years.
