Red wine, my fateful friend. My first instinct is that this tastes like LSA, and events with my friend Janey. Basically it makes me nostalgic and sad. I don't think I like red wine, I think every time I drink red wine. "Bleh, so tart, so much tannin" is my first taste-instinct. But it grows on you, always, woodsy and warm. I do notice the 'tobacco' notes, which I choose to recast as 'dirt, wood'. Not a huge cherry flavor like some reds have, but it's there a little bit. Basically a standard red wine in the end, with all that entails. As a pro, they answered my message promptly to say there are no nuts in their wines, which is huge for my enjoyment. Drinking this cold on day 2 was a little less tasty, more acid and less oak (and more heart burn). But I was also cranky then, so maybe we'll stick with our initial assessment!
Overall
Cost: 5/10
Taste: 7/10
