So full disclosure I accidentally inhaled some of this while smelling it. As a result, I can't fault it for the fact that I'm not getting a lot in the nose. Flavors include strawberry and maybe red bell pepper. The alcohol is a little too assertive for me, but again, my sinuses are marinating in it. Might benefit from more time in the bottle. Who knows (nose?) — 2 years ago

Pairs better with dark chocolate than any wine I've ever had. Decant for like 5 hours before drinking. Great at $47, would have been disappointing at full price. — 2 years ago
