Vintage Cellar Review: The grapes are soft pressed and the juice is placed in stainless steel along with the skins for a maceration of 8 to 10 days with daily pumping over of the juice to extract more color and sweet tannins. Dense ruby red with violet reflections. Lush and ripe bouquet full of mulberries, blackberries and spice. Harmonious and well balanced with good berry fruit in a spicy background. Excellent with lamb, grilled and barbecued meats, dishes with olives or capers and seasoned cheeses.
My Review: To me, this wine had a somewhat oak smell to the nose. I also sensed similarities to strongly pungent aromas, almost chemical-like. It was extremely dry and left me with a seemingly spicy after taste. I did not enjoy this wine and will probably steer away from it in the future.
