  If you're not a fan of bell pepper notes stay away even though it's well done here. Aromas of bell pepper, cocoa, anise, and perfume. A juicy wine with flavours of blackberry, bell pepper, oak, cardamom, and vanilla. Medium plus acidity with soft tannins.

  This is a very herbal and vegetal wine. Green bell peppers and licorice hit you on the nose. They are present too on the palate, along with fennel, plums and soil. The tannins are soft; there is a bit of acid, but the wine doesn't taste tart.
  
  Overall, I find this an interesting and relatively complex wine. Unlike most wines in which fruit takes center stage, this wine is all about vegetable and herb flavors. If you enjoy savory wines along this style, you will enjoy the wine. If you are looking for a wine that tastes primarily of big ripe fruits, you will be disappointed. For me it's probably not a wine I would want to drink all the time, but I did enjoy it and will probably buy more for when I'm in the mood for something different.

  Dull, overripe, nondescript black fruit infused with raw green bell pepper.
