Review: Intense deep red colour with violet hues. Complex aromas of plums and ripe cherries and violets. It is enhanced by the presence of dry fruits and mint hints. A wine of great concentration and complexity showing sweet and voluminous tannins. - http://www.winehound.co.uk
My Review: First impression: smells sort of salty almost, bacon perhaps? The smell was far away from anything fruity. I would also use the word earthy to describe the smell. I think now I understand much better when people describe a dry wine, it really was not sweet at all. The finish was also a little bitter for my liking. I would be curious to try this with some sort of red meat, I think that it would change my opinion greatly.
I did not have this wine with food.
