Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes:


Shows a certain rustic simplicity now, with youthfully jammy flavors of blackberries, cherries and currants, sprinkled with cocoa and pepper and wrapped into dusty tannins.

Personal Tasting Notes: 

This wine had a slight aroma of plums, cherries, and blackberries.  However, I found the taste to be extremely strong with cherries and pepper and honestly terrible.  This wine was very dry and had a very tacky mouth feel, that made me think of shoe polish.  This wine was my least favorite so far this semester, and was tried on its own without food.
