Review:

The nose is an interesting blend of cherry, plum, red currants, and spice aromas with a slight note of candied sugar. The palate is quite lively as bright red berries come together with notes of leather, smoked honey ham, a variety of spices, and a hint of candied sugar. Not a wine for the faint of heart, it has got a lot of life and a lot of flavor – perfect for a little wine adventure.
