Vintage Cellar Review:  The red ruby color and the dry taste give this wine joviality and cordiality. It is fresh and fruity, with lovely strawberry and cherry aromas and flavors, with nice spice and a silky texture.

My Review:  This wine has a basic red wine smell.  It smells very dry, acidic, and bitter.  The taste is not one of my favorites.  It is pretty dry, acidic, tart, and bitter.  The finish reminds me of my mouth being on fire.  I was not eating any food while at the tasting.
