My review: I was pretty excited to try this wine, but it was not what I was expecting. The initial forefront of smells I got were tart berries, and something I'd describe as rubber soil. This sounds a little strange I'm sure, but the more this wine was able to breathe the stronger this mystery smell became. Within five minutes all I could smell was latex; it was overpowering. Thank goodness it tasted better than it smelled. There were strong notes of blackberries, but that's about all I could make out. Seriously, the latex glove smell was a complete turn off for me.
I had this wine without food.
