Personal Review:
The nose was full of cherry and red fruit. The first taste that came to mind was licorice. I had a bunch of red wines at the vintage cellar and all of them tasted of licorice. I feel like I can definitely point that taste out. Mainly because I do not like it. There were also tastes of spices which came out in the finish. The wine was dry but not to strong in the alcohol department.
