Winery Review:
A complex, highly perfumed bouquet evokes red and dark berry preserves, incense
and cola, along with a sexy floral nuance and a touch of cracked pepper. Juicy,
sweet and expansive, offering vibrant cherry and blackberry flavors and a
velvety texture. Finishes with impressive clarity and lift leaving a candied
violet note behind—92 points—IWC
My Review:
This was a BIG RED. Super full-bodied and delicious. I definitely tasted the
berry tones. The slight bite had a peppery flavor and texture. I found this
wine very multi-faceted. Lots of deep, dark berries. Some floral tones.
Definite spice. The winery review
describes a velvety texture, however, I found the finish of this wine smooth as
silk.
With food?: I
had this wine on its own without food.
