Winery Review: Bright ruby-red. Dried cherry, pipe tobacco and rose aromas, with a hint of wood smoke. Sweet and fleshy on the palate, with blackberry and cherry flavors complimented by licorice and a suggestion of dried herbs. The cherry and smoke notes repeat on the finish.
My Review: This red wine was one of the less appealing wine for me. The nose was strong with scents of cigarettes (which I am not a fan of). There were also hints of bitter candy and dried spices or herbs. The nose was similar to the taste. It was a dry, bitter taste without any fruitiness to soften it.
I did not have it with any food.
