Vintage Cellar Review: Rooty, spicy and baked on the nose, with the aromas that lean towards raisin. The palate is more gritty and acidic, with raisin, cola, and spice flavors. Darkens up on the finish, with is long and peppery, with adequate juiciness and a final note of tomato.
My Review: The wine was a dark red color. My first sniff really took me by surprise. There were powerful, strong aromas that I wasn't expecting. I smelled some red berries (like cherries, raspberries, and maybe strawberries) along with a cherry cola aroma. There was a spicy taste to this wine. It was a long bitter, peppery taste that had a dry finish. Overall I enjoyed this wine because it is different from everything I have tried thus far.
This wine was tasted without food.
