Winery Review: Superb dark garnet color with a few reflections of dark orange. Intense nose of ripe fruits, spices, and roasted coffee. The palate is rounded and full, with silky matured tannins and hints of vanilla. This wine is rich and powerful with layers of tannins.
My Review: I'd never tasted a wine with a strong coffee component, and on the initial smell, that was the main characteristic I noted. Taste-wise, the fruits were overwhelmed by the combined bitterness of the coffee and spice - very powerful. This wine probably would've been mored balanced with food.
