I enjoyed sipping this while watching Game of Thrones during my winter break. I liked imagining that Cersei and I were drinking together... okay maybe Tyrian instead of Cersei. Not too heavy tannins with darker red fruit and a bit of vanilla and tobacco. I didn't get much licorice like the bottle suggested. It took the wine a bit to open up, but once it did it was really smooth and lovely. Much like my winter break, I was sad when it was over. — 6 years ago

Teachers are notorious for bringing their work home with them - you know, where their wine is. I sipped while finishing grades for report cards, a serious task for a not too serious wine. I tasted red fruits with medium tannins and some spice. Not much pepper, more of a clove taste. The fruit and spice didn't seem to know that they were supposed to work together, kind of like the students in that one group assignment I had to check. The wine still managed to get good grade, owing to the mild tannins that showed up prepared. — 6 years ago
