Winery review: There were a ton of articles about this wine, but not a lot of professional reviews. People get very excited about this wine because it is released every year on a certain date in November, so at midnight there is always a huge celebration for the uncorking of it. The one review I did find was from Easy food and wine: Aroma is almost tacky sweet and tart, like apple hard candy. Brightly fruity in the mouth but a little thin. Balanced though quick finish.
My review: I don't like that many red wines, and I've never had one that I've liked as much as I like this one. It has a strong grape smell and somewhat of a grapey taste as well. Moreso than most other wines I've tried. It's got a little bit of a bite, but for the most part it's extremely sweet. I also agree with the review that it is very fruity and I also think that it doesn't have as much as a wood flavor as many wines, especially reds, tend to have.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
