This wine is a total bargain. Great stuff for the price! Was told there is something like 42 different varietals in this, which is hard to believe… ah well, here we go:

Smells of dried fruits, vanilla, and baking spices. Extremely dry, with strong acidity. Still maintains its medium body. Very dark flavors of dark cherries, blackberries, tar, and plenty of earth.
