Tasting - Chocolate Box Cabernet Sauvignon

Name: Chocolate Box Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Country: Australia
Year: 2008
Price: $16.95

Vintage Cellar Review: Offering generous aromas of blackberries, cassis and a faint hint of chocolate, Chocolate Box Cabernet Sauvignon is a big wine with smooth tannins, spices and cigar box flavors on the palate.

My Review: This wine smelled like dark fruit or berries, but only a faint scent.  The flavor was somewhat sweet but not an overpowering sweet flavor.  Even though the wine was called chocolate box, it did not taste like chocolate candy to me.  There was very little burn after swallowing the wine.
