I wasn’t able to get the year for this wine, but it should be relatively new, i.e. a 2007 or 2008.

Nice color for a relatively cheap wine. Almost completely black.

Great aroma of black fruits and pepper.

Taste is a little one-dimensional. Nice, strong, cherry, bittersweet tannin taste. Pleasant, though not the best. Has a light finish. Light body too. Great aftertaste. A bit spicy at end, adding some complexity. Overall though, a bit too bitter and too unstructured.

Overall Score: 3.5/5.0. Not bad for a cheap ordinary drink.
