There are blackberry, strawberry, peach preserves, cinnamon, and sweet tobacco present in this wine. I taste the berries and the peach, but can not pick out the cinnamon. Cinnamon has a very specific taste, and I don't feel like I'm able to pick it out in this wine.
My Review: This wine reminds me of the Moutard Pét' Mout' that I tried. They are both sweet and tart at the same time, with a light yet bold taste. It says in the textbook that this wine would pair well with Asian barbeque, and I can definitely see how they would pair well together. It is fruity and yet not very sweet, and it has a full body. It only has 10% alcohol but it tastes like there would be more, which is interesting, because I taste it more than in some other wines.
