Regarding your recent item on Italian “Hitler Wine”, please note that we have tried this vintage and are able to report the following:
This wine is very bold, with a very bitter after-taste. Doesn’t sit well with Russian food, completely dominates French cuisine, but can be successfully paired with tortellini and sushi. Palette can best be cleared with American and U.K. domestic brews.
Hitler wine has a full bodied taste with hints of blackcurrant, leather, gunpowder, steel, brick and burnt wood. “This is a bottle with a message in it, and the message is ‘beware’. This is not a wine for drinking, this is a wine for laying down and avoiding.”
Ultimately its taste will die in the cellar. Even so, it may still be found in rural South American cafes.
