My Review:

The wine smelled very jimmy with fruity notes of cherry and plum. It had a spicy and peppery finish. The primary flavors of this wines were very fruity and focused on cherry, plum, and strawberry. It had a really enjoyable leathery and tannic finish. Although it smelled spicy, the actual wine was quite sweet and smooth. Overall a well balance wine that I would certainly buy again.

Tasted without food but with friends.
