Woo the first time I put my nose in the glass I got the strong smell of jam and alcohol. I tasted it and it was strong and raw in my mouth. I didn't like it. I left it sit there and went and fixed dinner, I set down to try it again. A new bottle of wine is what it taste like. There is a jammy rich smell. The color is a deep rich red. The taste was new. Rich berry jam and tobacco. Another taste and there was a very subtle taste of licorice. I was going to say run from this but I'm saying if you want a cheap bottle of red that will hold up to a hearty rich winter dish buy this wine. It is good.

I have decided to do a German dinner for my next wine dinner and have been trying to find a couple German reds. This was not be one. It was a light sweet wine. I guess it would be nice for a new red wine drinker. To sweet and fruity for me. Anyone have a red German wine I should try send me a note about it. Thanks

Smells like fruit ready to eat. rich red color of ripe cherries. First taste is of cherries and oak, a very good oak taste. I swirled it again and tasted it And again I get oak and vanilla and fruit. It's a dry wine but it tastes like it could be a tasty dessert with something chocolate.

A nose of cherries is my first note, then a hint of chocolate. The wine is a rich red in the glass. I taste cherries with the first sip. A little more gets me a taste of oaky wood and a hint of dark chocolate. There is a velvety smooth finish. Lovely wine and the cost is so reasonable.

jammy on the nose. Taste of rich jam and smooth finish. Color deep ruby red. A think wine.

My nose gets filled with strawberries. Then I look at the color and see how rich deep red it is. A taste of fruit is first on my tongue. I taste it again and get a chocolate taste and a finish of vanilla. It has a very nice smooth finish like velvet in your mouth
