'97 Ravenswood Belloni

[ddf68]

My vegetarian roommate's business partner was distributing the fruits of his hunting season last week and I, lucky me, came into possession of some cajun spiced ground elk. It was delicious grilled and served simply on thick bread with tomato and a tiny dollop of mustard. In addition, it was justification to crack a bottle of the Belloni. Dark ruby, powerful ripe fruit nose, more dense, ripe fruit (currant?) on the palate with a thick, smooth texture. All the body you'd expect from 14.5% alcohol. Delicious, though the finish was not quite as impressive as the attack and mid-palate.
