My Review: This wine was extremely aromatic, but it was hard to tell what the main characteristic was. After reading the tasting notes it was likely the licorice. Rotten licorice? There were moderate to high tannins, with a tart finish and a sour fruit quality throughout. This wine was fairly enjoyable, but likely just because it was not easy to figure out the main aromatic element.
