This wine has many layers. Dark slightly overripe berries. Blackberry, blueberry and sweet strawberry like notes. It then has a smooth velvet layer that suggests dark chocolate and tobacco. Then it leaves you with an almost harsh acidic grapey/jamy flavor. The bottle is pretty and I really like the black cork, but I feel it is a bit of a gimmick for Halloween. Maybe, if it matures for another year or two some of the harsher notes will soften. It is an interesting wine and I have not tasted anything similar to it before. While I do not love it, I have consumed two bottles of it, so take my review for what it's worth.
