My Review: This appears to be a very thick red wine; mostly black with hints of red around the edges and full bodied. This wine has a very interesting smell; it smells earthy, moldy, and gamey. It also smells like the char on burnt meat. This wine has a moderate amount of tannins and is smooth at the same time. This is a very thick wine, and also has a cherry cough medicine aftertaste.
Winery Review: Intensely violet in color, on the nose this wine exhibits heady notes of black pepper, black cherry with just a hint of fresh rosmary. In the mouth an initial attack of red plum, sweet tobacco and cinnamon gives way to just a touch of earthiness and ripe, red bell pepper. Ripe tannins and fresh acidity combine to give good balance and length.
I did not drink this with food
I would drink this again (8/10)
