This reminded me of Pineau d'Anuis, both on the nose and palate - it had that same pepperiness and tequila-like aroma. Very light-bodied and pale ruby in color.

not deep or complex at all....smacked me mid palette, dry, light... cranberry/strawberry hue with hints of cough syrup.. and tar? sharp alcohol strikes the nose upon first waft..and very very faint hint of fat.. very faint...

Aromas of dark cherry and some sweeter maraschino cherry at times are supported by a decidedly earthy, mossy streak, with some smoky menthol and dried tar mixed in. It is a bit thin on the palate, showing an outwardly-facing acidic profile. Over-sour red fruit, nutmeg dust and some bitter toasted herbs make for a not-altogether pleasing flavor profile for my tastes. For such a young wine, it shows no tannin at all and it finishes with more smoke, ash and earthy roughness that really needs food to make it more tolerable. My wife liked it but it didn’t push my buttons at all.
