Winery review: “…offers up an enticing nose of balsam wood,
leather, Asian spices, lavender, and black cherry. In the glass it is
smooth-textured, spicy, incipiently complex, and sweetly-fruited… outstanding
volume, impeccable balance, and a lengthy, pure finish…” 91 pts – Wine Advocate
My review: This wine smells like black cherries and
alcohol. I found this wine to be a
little complex since it did have more flavors combined than others. It also had
a full-body. It tasted earthy in the mid palate and fruity at the end. I did
not taste this wine with food but since it is European I wish I paired it with
food.
