I really liked this wine. It was aromatic and smelled like a tasty blackcurrant liqueur, probably due to the 15% ABV. In the mouth it was dry and tannic, but not too much. Also, it was full-bodied, very well balanced and long lasting.

My first bottle of Auxerrois, but definitely not the last one. The nose was nicely concentrated, showing ripe yellow fruits. The palate refreshing and stimulating with juicy citrus notes and balanced acidity. A worthy alternative to more common dry whites.

A surprisingly light Cabernet Sauvignon. The nose contained hints of dark berries, blackcurrant liquer, some kind of licorice and wood. The taste was well balanced with nice acidity, mellow tannins and fruity notes. Not a particularly memorable wine, yet easibly enjoyable.
