• Shop review:
• "Rooty, spicy and baked on the nose, with aromas that lean towards raisin.  The palate is more gritty and acidic, with raisin, cola, and spicy flavors.  Darkens up on the finish, which is long and peppery, with adequate juiciness and a final note of tomato."
• My review:
• This wine was very strong; the smell was almost overpowering.  It is a full-bodied wine with very bold flavors such as raisin and pepper.
• I did not have this wine with food.
