    Notes:Medium to light garnet in color. A bit hazy. Strong smell of pepper mixed with lychee fruit. Very peppery, acidic, with some tannins remaining. Medium sweet, but the flavors doMinated by pepper. Overall, light in body, a wine that is on its last straw. Fair. Not a great wine, perhaps far past its prime.
