Shop Review:
Rooty, spicy and baked on the nose, with aromas that lean towards raisin. The palate is more gritty and acidic, with raisin, cola, and spice flavors. Darkens up on the finish, which is long and peppery, with adequate juiciness and a final note of tomato.
My Review:
This wine had a nice spiced raisin smell, just as the shop review had mentioned. Even more exiting about this wine, was that it tasted like the review had mentioned as well. Someone had questioned whether or not there was a tomato taste in it, and coming from a family that grew up on vegetables, I could totally get a hint of tomato. A fresh slice of tomato sprinkled with salt and pepper. If it wasn't such a strong wine I would probably reach for this one again.
