Tried neat. On the nares I get the obvious red wine as well as sour cherries, strawberries, oak, silky, chocolate. Very fruity and smells like a chocolate covered strawberry… but that could be because valentines is in 2 days and a girl has cravings. On the palate I very much get a red wine which is always nice. It’s tart and somewhat sour on the palate like an old wine with a hot finish.
