Winery review: Its aroma at cool temperatures is bright, reminiscent of chrome steel and fresh grass. Interesting. At cold temperatures, the aroma fades almost completely - just a tiny hint of grass. On the palate, the first impression is of the broad, smooth and sweet middle. The finish is ripe, quick, with a residual sweetness. Friendly sweetness and mild acids trump any sort of notable flavors, especially at colder temperatures.
My review: Smells very sweet and has a small cherry scent. Maybe even a hint of sourness to it. Also is a bit "hot" on the nose. Tastes almost exactly as it smells. VERY sweet with indistinguishable traces of fruit. A sour aftertaste is present. For only 9.5% alcohol, it has a fair amount of heat to it -- leads me to believe it is not very well balanced.
I tasted this on its own without food.
