Very transparent light red. In the not so very expressive bouquet there are red berry fruits. On the palate red fruits like strawberries, some green herbs, firm acidity and hardly any tannin. Clean wine.

In the bouquet a lot of fresh cherries. On the palate fresh cherry juice and dark berries as well, a bit spicy, soft bitterness, mild acidity and the tannin has a pleasant bite. The alcohol shows a bit.

Cherries, red berries and black tea in the bouquet. On the palate creamy red juice; cherries and raspberries. Some herbs and spices and a firm amount of bitterness. No score because we wondered if the wine was completely fresh (although it was drinkable.)
