WineDiva's Review

Abundant, fleshy, plush.
This "devil" is an effusive blast of plums and kirsch, mocha and sarsaparilla aromas. The palate is supple, the fruit generous and it has an abundance of licorice and clove flavours. An exceedingly approachable and plush wine with smooth tannins and good length.
Certainly supple and fleshy with full-on fruit. I suggest pairing it with chili, burgers, pizza and anything with sweet and spicy barbecue sauce.
