Expert 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 was a dark red color and had a strong bacteria
like aroma. The smell was leathery and moldy. It reminded me of rotting fruit
and horse saddles. IT was hot in the mid palate but balanced out into the end
and was very smooth. The taste was weak after a strong aroma and the primary
flavor was cherry.
Food: This wine was tasted with no food due to tasting it at
the Vintage Cellar.
