Shop Review: Bright purple. Blackberry, plum and peppery spice aromas exhibit good vibrancy and power. Firm cherry and dark berry flavors are subtly accented by a peppery nuance, picking up a hint of licorice with air. A candied plum note lingers on the warm finish, which is firmed by gentle tannins.

My Review: I was reminded of blackberries and pepper when smelling this wine. It was hard to distinguish any of the other smells in this wine. When tasting it, there was a strong tart and oaky flavor. The pepper was also very strong and gave a unpleasant finish. I could taste a licorice aftertaste, which I was not a fan of.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
