Probably a crime to open this now but got it for free so who cares. Drinking it with my grandmother whose review is as follows : “It’s alright, really warms your stomach. I usually drink Carlo Rossi”. I’d say the tannins are very silky, definitely dark fruit, plums, blackberry. A hint of spice and vanilla but not overwhelming. Kind of wish I opened it 7 years later lol. Cheers!
