Garnet colour, medium density. Sweet aromas of baked apple and cherry, with baking bread and leather. Cherries on the palate and strong tannins eventually reveal a savoury core (cooked tomatoes?) and a very long finish. Excellent find, rather like a Greek Nebbiolo; similarly, should probably drink this 2021+

medium intensity flavors of strawberry, raspberry, red cherry, blueberry, leafiness, chocolate, and some cooked/stewed fruit notes. finishes on the shorter side.

Cherry, earth and mineral nose. Medium-light body with good acid, lowish grape tannin, most coming in late from the wood. Drying. Red fruit with a hint of liquorice. Easy drinking again. Don't keep much longer.

Sur les petits fruits rouges frais rappelant la framboise et la cerise, acidité vive, équilibré et rafraichissant. Un vin qui a de la personnalité, surtout à ce prix.

Le vin présente un beau fruit éclatant et est pourvu d'une acidité juste, il termine sur des notes d'épices douces avec une finale de moyenne intensité. Ce vin est conçu pour être consommé jeune et démontre une très grande fraicheur. Un beau RQP!

Bright, clear, purple-red. Nose is spice, rose, perfume. Tastes of plum, granite, minerals. Floral mid palate. Finish very dry. Overall, fun to drink in the way cabernet franc can make for clean easy drinking.

Grenat tres claire. Nez sur les cerises rouge. Bouche sur les petits fruits rouge. Tres fres. Avec une pizzza poulet, c'etait tres agreable. Bon vins d'ete.

Theatre of Wine 'Summer Collection' (Theatre of Wine, Tufnell Park): Served slightly chilled but the nose is still pretty enticing: a mix of earth, spice, cherry and a nebbiolo-like floral note. Ripe cherry fruit but well defined and there's some decent tannic structure, too. Quite a dry finish but the overall impression is of freshness. Great summer red this and a step-up from the previous vintage of this wine I tasted (the 2010, I think). 16.5/20.
Il rappelle un Morgon par sa couleur pâle et sa grande fraîcheur sur le raisin frais et les épices. Belle bouge tout de même ample, aux tanins présents et à l'acidité affirmée. Délicieux.

Like young barbera but with a bit more grip and power. Fleshy, juicy. rose petal and cherries. Tastes Piedmontese. "An earthy tannin that buts up to the acidity".

This hit the shelves and pretty well disappeared immediately, but it’s worthy of mention. Here’s something from left field – a Beaujolais-styled xinomavro. Normally a pretty mean and earthy wine, here the fruit takes over. Bright red field fruit, slightly candied with a sweet and spicy finish. Simple, easy and fun to drink wine. Serve at 16C. Drink now. Food-pairing ideas: apéritif, couscous.

Sur les petits fruits rouges très frais, légèrement boisé, touche mentholé. Belle matière légèrement grasse et grande vivacité en bouche. Très bien.

Very decent QPR with loads of Cherry and Oak. Medium body and finish. Drinking very well now, it won't get much better than this.

Interesting, fruity and slightly astringent but in a good way - finishes a bit short .
