This wine had a medicinal cherry and licorice nose which wasn't too bad, but the taste was really, really unpleasant to us. It had some chemically quality that made it seem like fruity bathroom cleaner. The synthetic cork had quite a bit of sediment on it (strange for a 2010...), but the wine itself didn't taste damaged. Just not good.
This was the second wine in memory that we actually dumped down the sink.

Aromas of sweet cherries, red licorice and rose petals, a little bit of pepper. Medium-bodied and tangy acid, lots of bright cherry and raspberry with notes of caramelized sugar, red licorice and soft toast. A fun, easy-drinking style.

Weekly tasting group #051; Bordeaux blends (By me @ BD): Transparent CS….. Vegetal bouquet with strawberries. Green and vegetal on the palate as well. Some sweetness and menthol, soft tannin and the alcohol shows quite much. Tragic Cabernet Sauvignon.
