Bright ruby-red. Dried cherry, pipe tobacco and rose aromas, with a hint of woodsmoke. Sweet and fleshy on the palate, with blackberry and cherry flavors complimented by licorice and a suggestion of dried herbs. The cherry and smoke notes repeat on the finish.
My thoughts: This had such a unique smell! I thought it smelled like a pastry shop or a cherry turnover. It was almost a little musty, too. It was sweet and smooth. I got a lot of the cherry flavors. There was a light licorice spice taste in the background. I had this wine without food.
