Still
This wine is a nice complement to the dish. Its intensity of the fruit, its weight and density, and its minerality are a good match for the minerality in the beef. Its tannin cuts the steak's richness, the acidity cuts the saltiness of anchovy, there's enough acid to handle the pickled shallots, and I really like its fruit character with the rosemary.
