NOSE: cherry … oak … leather … cola … a little smoke.

TASTE: cherry, bitter almond and spices (oregano?) … a little thin, but not bad. Inoffensive, dry red table wine in a can!!! I think this would be great with pasta.

EDIT: I’ve now tried this twice and it really impresses - I retract the “thin” comment. I’m raising the score to 89.

Deep and dark in color, grape jelly on the nose, minerally, with tastes of plums and dark berries. Solid value wine.
