I was going to skip posting on this because I have posted on it a few times but this wine is so damned good. 3-4 feet away kind of nose…cherry cola and spice. The palate is medium weight with sweet dark cherries being the predominant flavor. Some baking spices…cinnamon particularly. I could detect no alcohol…velvety smooth. There are some tannins in the tail end but I was looking for them, otherwise would have missed them. Man I like this wine. If I had to be picky about it Id say a tad more acidity would make it perfect for my palate.
