Deep purple to tar like in the glass. Fruity, raspberry licorice, white chocolate iced coffee on the nose. Big juicy, pruney, juicy licorice, juicy purple drink, juicy BIG Turk chocolate bar, then some Auz juicy shiraz type juicy flavours. Did I mention this wine is juicy, not Rioja juicy but 2 cans of water instead of 3 for the welches concentrate juicy. Very gulpable and easy to down. Big time crowd pleaser, for those times when you don't want to have to think about it. Drink with bbq sauce lathered meats, Duncan Hines Choco cake or chocolate fondue fountain. Tasted April '11
