Smells of cardboard and room temperature havarti. A big minus is that it reminds me of the nastiest wine of all time. Takes a few big sips to get used to! Sweet and dry, and a mistake.

Arley says: Smells like pear and a new book. Tastes intense and smooth, no heat; mostly juice like.

Arley says: Subtle smell of smokey fruit. Tastes sweet, but a bit intense (too young?) Lots of heat on the back, thin mid palette. Not my kind of wine.

Arley says: Smells like spring time, but very full and amazing. Very sweet start to taste, and smooth. There is a noticeable heat, but in a way I like and long lingering taste/

Arley says: Smells like mint chocolate and banana peels. Tastes sweet and dark, with a hint of mint. My mouth feels the heat, but it's not as abrasive as to cause offense.

I think I might love wines with mouvedre and grenache grapes!

Arley says: Strong alcohol smell and taste. Smells of lemons and cotton. Very sweet, but thin. Kind of tastes like vinegar or old apple cider. Short taste in mouth, call it mercy.

Arley says: Smells smoky sweet cherries and lemons. Licoricey too. Tastes very smooth, great after taste.

Arley says: Smells like dandelions + apples & vanilla. Very fruity, but thin and lots of heat on the end.

Arley says: smooth and sweet, maybe a bit young. Cranberry and chocolate meet a china cabinet.

Arley says; A faint hint of mint, extremely sweet and extremely dry. A confusing battle in my mouth, but enjoyable.
