Here is what they say on the importers web site.
“A deep ruby hue accompanies an earthy nose, rich with aromas of fine-grained leather and licorice. The palate is generous and complex, with intrepid notes of black currant and boysenberry weaved together with graphite and sweet tobacco. Ripe, plush tannins combine with subtle minerality creating an ideal balance and a lengthy finish.” |
I ordered this wine with my dinner and then brought the bottle home to finish it off with a fine cigar. I did not do a review on it but, the licorice was noticeable and there seemed to be a brown spice (cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg), some herbal and mineral qualities with dark berries.
I found it to be an interesting wine to drink. I’ll have to find it at a store and do a review on it one day. I would not have guessed it to be a Cabernet Sauvignon.
