This one needs to breathe a bit before drinking. After reading several other reviews all over the Internet about this wine, I honestly am not getting the same impression a lot of others are. I smell and taste a lot of smoke. Cannot put my finger on any mocha or vanilla. Mainly just oak and smoke. Very very faint dark berries. It did however get easier to drink as I got down to the bottom of my glass. Not bitter just super smoky. Don't think I would buy it again for myself unless I wanted to some variety options for guests at a party.
