Garnet in color. Nose of black fruits, plums, leather, chocolate. Violets? Same on the palette, add anise and orange peel. Dark chocolate, bitter coffee and tar finish that I’m not sure if I like. Colonial Spirits.

Aerated and let the wine rest for 1 hour before drinking. Did not help much. Tar, charcoal, and dark berries on the nose. Super sour with a lot of lemon. Big alcohol bite at 14.5%. Not sure if this has any aging hopes and dreams
