Shop Review: Full of spicy red fruit aromas, with cigar box and licorice tones as well. In the mouth it is rich and complex while retaining its fruit flavors. Serve with barbecue, grilled meats and any hearty or spicy recipe.
My Review: This was a very complex, full-bodied wine for a novice wine taster. It was dry and woody with unfamiliar aromas to me. I am not familiar with what a cigar box smells like, so I wasn't able to identify this aroma. Once I gain more experience, I would like to try this wine again with some of the suggested foods.
I had this wine alone, without any food.
