Licorice, orange rind, dried herbs-lavender/oregano/sage, smoke, medium tannin and beef bouillon. For the price, it's great.

Dry, high acid, decently balanced. Red fruit, smoke, herbs and a little gaminess.

For 6 bucks I don't think I could have found a better deal. Light, drinkable and NOT fruit forward California crap.

This stuff rocked!! 2 days after being opened and it was still giving. Raisins and vanilla, port-like flavors. Very cool stuff. Retails around $23.99. Got to meet Georgia too

Aromas of stewed black fruit, dried rose, anise, mushroom, tar, pink peppercorn, dried oregano, "Better Than Bouillon Beef"; med acid, med(+) tannin & alcohol... Though it doesn't seem 'hot' - bottle claims 14,5% ABV - seems less. Great for the bargain price of $5.99. Would definitely purchase again and pair with a Puttanesca
