The Vintage Cellar's Review: "This is an extremely rich, full-bodied wine with a dark fruit core. Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, cassis and dark cherry are followed by more berry fruits and chocolate and mocha on the palate."
My Review: The nose on this wine was strange. I kept thinking there was someone near me with bad breath, and then I took a sniff in my glass and realized it was the wine. There were notes of rotting fruit and an undertone of something like buttercream frosting. The experience on the palate was much better. It started off mild and berry-ish, then got very peppery over the mid-palate, and had a nice spicy finish.
This wine was tasted without food.
