Vintage Cellar Review:
Very dark purple, with a reddish-violet edge, typical of this grape. Black plums, a hint of licorice and subtle spice, not overly complex but appealing. A big mouth full of juicy black fruit is well structured by tart acidity and soft but distinct tannins.
My Review:
My first word about this wine: different. I hadn't tasted a wine quite this dark yet, or a wine that tasted exactly how the store review claimed. It was spicy and fruity with a finish of something I couldn't name until I saw the word "licorice" on the review. Despite its richness, it was more subtle than I expected.
