Winery Review: Its aroma is wide and complex: spicy, with green pepper notes, cinnamon and vanilla, pleasant and characteristic; at the same time it is also fruity, with cherry, blackberry, strawberry and red fruits jam in general notes. In mouth it reveals its full-bodied taste, with the right amount of acidity, and with a persistent and pleasant finish.
My Review: This darker red wine had a fruity, berry and raisin smell. It smelled very fruity and sweet. Upon tasting, it tasted a bit woody and smoky. I tasted a lot of spices all at once, so it was hard to distinguish the flavors of the spices. There may have been some clove flavors. I got a lot of darker fruit flavors, mostly cherries and blackberries. I did not think this wine tasted sweet, despite the smell. This wine was a bit too spicy for my liking.
I did not taste this wine with food.
