Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes:
 

This opens with dark aromas of leather, tobacco, cured meat, plum and prune. It shows soft tannins and loads of dark fruit on the finish.


Personal Tasting Notes: 

This wine had a dark red cherry color.  Additionally, there was strong tannins which gave the wine a very dry and tacky mouth feel.  Also there were strong flavors of blueberries, black berries and sour cherries.  I did also detected the spicy and slightly smoky flavors of tobacco.  Finally, I believe this wine, would go well with a nice large portion of red meat like steak. 

This wine was tasted without food
