  April 16, 2011 - Bright and fresh red fruits on the nose, some interesting smoky/earthy/spicy thing going on, a very pleasant lighter style wine little tannin and a refreshing finish.

  June 14, 2010 - Meanwhile some experts and wise men are talking about these wines 'drink locally and chilled', I promisse you that bottle, if chilled is timid so a good idea is to serve it conveniently warmed, room temperature. At this point, this wine is fruty (mainly strawberries), refreshing on the palate and easy to drink, despite that artificial candy flavour. Passé.
  
  Mientras algunos expertos y hombres sabios dicen de estos vinos "bébelos localmente y helados", te prometo que esta botella, helada era muy tímida así que una buena idea es servirla convenientemente calentada a temperatura ambiente. A ese punto, este vino es afrutado (principalmente fresas), refrescante en paladar y fácil de beber, a pesar de ese olor artificial a caramelo. Pasar.
