A rich wine essence which is so concentrated that a tablespoon or two is sufficient for one serving. This sauce can wow simple food like beef, venison, poultry or lamb. This is a great way to use leftover ends of bottles of red wine.

I'm not usually a fan of red wine, but this essence was surprisingly delicious. It had a smooth, fruity flavor that paired well with the chocolate mousse.
