Wine critic review:
"Bright red to crimson hues. Intense lifted vanilla aromatics balanced
with ripe red to dark berry fruits. Full and round on the palate with a
distinct sweetness giving a rich and round mouth feel. The vanilla
aromatics carry through on the palate and compliment subtle flavors of
chocolate and a cedary spice. The palate finishes soft and fruity with a
pleasant lingering freshness." (wine.com)
Your review:
This was fantastic. After swirling, I picked up aromas of cherry and oak pretty strongly. I took a sip and at first it was incredibly tart. But the after taste mellowed out, almost like butter or some other savory taste. After leaving it out a little, the wine blossomed so that I got a lot of berry on the front. Specifically blackberry and cherry. It finished pretty smooth with oak. Quite good! I had some shrimp with old bay as well. The wine brought out the spicy flavor in the old bay. And the old bay covered up the fruit in the wine. It almost just went really spicy to oak. In my opinion, it was better before the spicy shrimp...
