Medium dark color. A bit of H2S stink in the nose even at 4 years of age. (Does the fact that it has a screwcap mean that not enough oxygen has gotten to the wine post-bottling?) Very soft and somewhat sweet. More acidity would have helped a lot. Overall for the wine, meh. Overall rating for the label design, great!

Cherry red color with cherry liqueur, cranberry, and white pepper aromas. On the palate, it's medium-bodied with a creamy texture, and mixed berry cranberry, pomegranate, and spice flavors. Lingering finish.

Lively, fresh, young, plenty of red fruit and a savory edge. Paired great with some pizza.

A decent quaffer, but more earthy than fruity,
