Shop Review: Deep ruby colored with a gorgeous
nose. Attractive aromas of kirsch, raspberries,
pepper and melted liquorice. Full
flavored wine with a supple texture and no hard edges. Medium to full bodied, fruit driven
sumptuously-textured and long aftertaste.
My Review: For me, this wine was too dry and harsh tannins. The only flavor I could
indentify was a liquorice flavor, and I am not too fond of liquorice. That may play a big role in why I did not particularly
enjoy this wine. It is recommended to be
paired with roast dishes, Spanish stew, mushrooms or grilled meats. The fact that I tried this alone without food
may have made it so that I could not appreciate it for how it is supposed to be
tasted, so I would not be opposed to trying it again with food.
