The more I drink wine the more I find the odd ball tastes in it. This was the first wine where I was able to clearly make out vegetables. Black pepper and celery came through on the cent more than I ever have smelled before. There was also a hint of dried fruit, possibly raisin. The black pepper comes through much more in the taste with some other peppery spices. I tasted a possible hint of soy sauce lingering in the finish of the wine. It was very parching and grippy. The tatse stayed with you for quiet some time. Never had a wine with this type of flavor profile. Cheese would probably pair well with this wine, probably a goat cheese or a smooth brie would cut the parching mouth feel.
What Others Say: This is a nice review given by the vintage cellar. "From the rare Alicante Bouchet, one of the few grapes
in the world with red flesh this wine
has a plush texture carring flavors of brandied cherry and chocolate ganache in
this round red. Light tannins and gentle acidity impart a lovely, balanced
structure."
