  September 10, 2019 - 13,5% alcohol, 3,9 g/l residual sugar, 5,0 g/l acidity and pH 3,6.
  
  Youthful, translucent purple color. Fragrant, youthful and super aromatic nose with primary aromas of purple forest fruits, some sappy herbal greenness, a little bit of brambly raspberry and a hint of candied red fruits. The wine is lively and medium-bodied on the palate with youthful yet somewhat dull flavors of raspberry-driven red fruits, some wild strawberries, a little bit of blueberry, light spicy notes and a hint of cherry marmalade. The wine is high in acidity with firm medium tannins. The lively finish is gently grippy with long, juicy flavors of blueberries, brambly raspberries and some wild strawberries.
  
  A nice, simple and very youthful little red wine. There's enjoyable sense of structure here - thanks to the firm tannic backbone and bright acidity - and the taste is pleasantly fruit-forward, but there is a little bit of something dull here, making the wine lack the youthful freshness one looks for in these "early-release" wines in the vein of Nouveau style. This is wine is OK and drinkable, but nothing of particular interest.
