critic/winery review: A ripe red,
offering ample acidity to support the jammy kirsch, plum sauce and wild berry
coulis notes that are framed by medium tannins, with the finish pumping out
hints of smoke, spice box and graphite. Drink through 2017. 90 Pts. Wine

My review: Smells
of rich dark fruit doused in sweet vinegar. There’s a spicy aftertaste, a sweet
first touch and a light bit of tannins in the middle. I wish I could identify
the dark fruit in the smell and taste but I’m afraid I’m not familiar enough
with most of the fruits usually used to identify this type of wine. I don’t
even know what a currant is.
CONCLUSION: Would
not drink again
Not tasted with food
