Shop Review: Bright ruby-red. Dried cherry, pipe tobacco and rose aromas, with a hint of wood smoke. Sweet and fleshy on the palate, with blackberry and cherry flavors complimented by licorice and a suggestion of dried herbs. The cherry and smoke notes repeat on the finish (Vintage Cellar).
Personal Review: The Torre Castillo Alegre had a very strange and unique nose. It kind of reminded me of black licorice candy, which while I didn't find it appealing, was not a bad quality. This wine continued to be an interesting experience when tasting it as well. At first, it was somewhat fruity, with hints of plum and dark cherry. However, the finish was completely different with a spiced and peppery kick at the end.
