Tasted blind. Bright ruby color with white edges. A bit alcoholic in the nose. Aromas of flowers and sweetness. Very pleasant and fresh nose. Light to medium bodied, good acidity and soft tannins. Good balance, fresh, young but complex. Excellent value for money (19$).

Purple with hints of orange color. Very light and bright. Flowery and earthy, but with no fruit at all! It gave the impression of a mature wine, but the palate was completely disharmonic with the nose: Light bodied, High and predominant acidity and bitterness. Very tannic. Long and bitter finish – as if it was not ready to drink yet (46$)
