Winery Review:
Beautiful ruby appearance, with blackberry and pepper notes. Tannins and fruit marry well for a soft finish. This wine pairs well with sharp cheddar cheese and hazelnuts. Also try it along with roast lamb at Easter time, veal marsala, or grilled salmon.
My Review:
This wine hit you in the nose with the bitter smell. It also smelled strongly of tobacco with a hint of cherry. I really disliked the smell of this wine. After the initial taste, it is super bitter and sour and unenjoyable. There were small undertones of rotten cherry but overall the extreme bitterness of this wine really turned me away from it. This was tasted without food.
