VC Review: Rooty, spicy and baked on the nose, with aromas that lean towards raisin. The palate is more gritty and acidic, with raisin, cola, and spice flavors. Darkens up on the finish, which is long and peppery, with adequate juiciness and a final note of tomato.
My notes: This wine was very mysterious to me. I could only really put words to the smokiness and spiciness of the bouquet and taste, but it was hard to identify the other flavors. Because it was so mysterious and cheap, my roommate and I both bought a bottle so maybe after drinking 2 bottles we will figure it out. I'll keep you posted.
Food: n/a
