New Syrah Merlot Kit Smells Like Licorice

[rebusify]

Just picked up a new Rose kit and it's a Syrah Merlot Rose kit and the grape concentrate smells like licorice. Is this normal? I sure don't want the rose smelling like licorice so can I expect this to change after fermentation/racking/bottling?

I guess you will have to make it and let us know! I cannot think of much else to do at this point.

Red licorice or black?
