Germany isn't really well known for its red wine – so when I saw this one for $6 at Trader Joe's I thought it would be interesting to try.Licorice on the nose.
Sweet....unpleasantly sweet....earth, rotten raspberry, tobacco, all mixed with sugar.
Cherry comes out on the finish and some funky notes linger for quite some time.
If a sweet red wine appeals to you then perhaps, I can't even finish a glass. The bottle does state “Medium-dry” so on the one hand I should've known better, on the other I can say I've had a Pinot Noir from Deutschland and for academic purposes that's good enough.
