Personal Review:
This wine was a blend made by a friend of my parents in 2012. The wine spent 6
months in oak barrels. It had a wicked alcohol smell to it. It smelled harsh
and slightly like a dirt floor cellar, but in a good way. This made it smell
earthy and kind of reminded me of mushrooms. The taste at first was very hot
from the alcohol. Once I got past the alcohol taste, it was fairly peppery and
creamy. It had a hint of chocolate to it and was a little bit jammy in its
taste. I think this wine would be good with a little more time in the bottle to
settle down the tannins and alcohol levels. I did not drink this wine with
food, but I don’t think it would have changed the flavor much because of the
overpowering taste of alcohol.
