Shop review:
“The bouquet is floral and
lightly jammy, with berry aromas and a savory note or two. To the uninitiated,
this is a great introduction to Bonarda. Finishes solid. Very sweet, berry
smell with some rooty undertones. Kind of
dry, makes your lips pucker.” (Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg VA)
My review: This wine had a rich red violet color, and a
strong smell of acetone, berries, and spice.
The smell reminded me of a spiced potpourri. The taste had little tannins, and was very
bitter (it was like swallowing a vitamin D or Prednizone tablet, for those who
know that medicine).
I drank this without food.
