Wine Shop Review: This is an extremely rich, full-bodied wine with a dark fruit core. Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, cassis and dark cherry are followed by more berry fruits and chocolate and mocha on the palate.
My Review: This one had a darker color, and I really noticed a lot of flavors on the nose. I picked up some black pepper, and once again a kind of water chestnut aroma - although I may be calling it that when it's closer to cashew, I'd have to try it again. Then, in addition to those flavors, I got either a blackberry or raspberry jam kind of aroma. I thought it was really good, full bodied, with a kind of cocoa or mocha taste. Once again, it was slightly peppery with berry flavors.
I did not have food with this.
