The Vintage Cellar's Review: "Bright and tangy, offering a classic banana note on the nose, with flavors of raspberry, wild strawberry and light spice. Modest finish."
My Review: This red wine was surprisingly rich in both fragrance and flavor compared to the description. It smelled strongly of vinegar and strawberries and was very dry on the palate. The fruitiness in the flavor was harder to pick up, with a spicy acidity predominating over a hint of strawberry. I was disappointed to not detect the "banana note" mentioned in the review.
I tasted this without food.
