Shop review: On the nose, savory aromas of smoked meats and fragrant herbs are touched with the scent of mouthwatering ripe berries. Flavors of liquer-soaked dark cherries, with pancetta and rosemary support smooth tannins that precede a long, silky finish.
My review: First impression was the smell of smoke and wood that hits the nose. Supposedly this wine got 88 points from wine enthusiast but I was not too fond of it; with the right food I am sure I would have enjoyed this wine more. I picked up what I can at best call smoked herbal tastes; maybe even licorice. This wine would have to be paired with food if I was to drink it again.
And, too reiterate for class, I tasted this on its own with no food.
