My Review:
The aroma of this red blend was Jammie with Dark fruits. It also had a hint of Tobacco smell on the end. Upon tasting the wine I noticed it was extremely tannic and bitter. It had an earthy and mushroomie flavor. A good description word would be that it tasted like mud. The bottle art is beautiful and the idea behind the creation of this wine is based on what street art may taste like in the bottle. However, it think it is better on the outside rather than on the inside. It is possible this wine needed to opened up a little before drinking, but overall I would not try this again.
