Vintage Cellar Review: Bright ruby color. Primary dark berry aromas are simple but offer very good purity and focus. Juicy blackberry and bitter cherry flavors are youthfully tangy, with good back-end acidity adding snap. The clean, brisk finish leaves behind notes of sweet dark berry preserves and cracked pepper.
My Review: The nose of this wine smelled like pepper, fruit and alcohol. When drinking this wine, these flavor profiles were increased. The wine was also slightly bitter, and there were a few mouth drying tannins. The dark fruit flavors were stronger after the wine had sat in your mouth for a moment. There was very little burn upon swallowing.
