"The wine is a nice deep red in the glass, and on the nose I got some fruit but a good amount of green peppers and brambles that I didn’t experience the first time we opened one of these bottles. In the mouth I got more of the same that I got on the nose and a smoother finish than I remembered from my first try at the wine." -The Good Wine Guru
My Review:
This wine is a very deep, dark purple color and is very full and dry. It has a woody, smoky, campfire aroma, and it is almost peppery and spicy at first taste. I think this wine is very smooth, and eating pasta with it helped to cut some of the bitter smokiness. This wine is unlike anything else I've tried to date, and I enjoyed its uniqueness.
