Vintage Cellar Review: This is an extremely rich, full-bodied wine with a dark fruit core.
Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, cassis and dark cherry are
followed by more berry fruits and chocolate and mocha on the
palate.
My Review: There was lots of spice on the nose of this wine, with dark fruits, especially a dark raspberry and black cherry. The flavor of this wine was much more vegetal on the palate, similar to the other red we had today. It was fairly tannic as well, but not as much as the Ksana. The spice was apparent on the tongue, as well as a fresh cut grass flavor. Overall, this was a decent wine and I wouldn't mind having it again.
I did not have food with this wine.
