The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are slow. It smells like espresso, lead pencil, apple and prune. It tastes like plum, plum and medium toast. The body is light/medium. The wine has fleshy texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.

Clear red color. Voluminous fruit and toasted oak dominate the one-dimensional nose. Similar appearance on the palate, being very primary with cherry, strawberry and other red fruits, but imprecise and slightly watery. A tannic backbone sneaks in on the finish, but I imagine drinking this now is the best strategy.

Light floral nose with a medium bodied austere cherry palate. A Tuesday night drink now kind of wine.

Pungent, gamy nose. Lean blackberry and licorice. Too severe and aggressive, little charm.
