Very nice. Smooth tannins. In addition to the typical varietal red fruits, there were dark flavors of coffee and chocolate early on. A couple days later I picked up camphor, anise, and pine resin. Well balanced. Would buy again.

Surprisingly good, and extremely well balanced. Great bubbles and mouthfeel. Wonderful acidity and fruit flavors. There was a slight bitter harshness initially, but that quickly went away as it opened up. Will buy again.

Rich and velvety. Lacking complexity but a very nice wine nonetheless.
