Found this to be a bit too American in style with fleshy ripe fruits and the acidity weirdly out of place despite being balanced. Might be the vintage, but I won't be trying this again.

Even despite not holding on to all of its pressure, this was really enjoyable. A strong treacle and honey palate with some peach fruit leather. Acidity was nice and the residual sugar (my guess was 6g/l) helped the wine age perfectly. A perfect condition bottle would be excellent.

Drinkable and tasty, but I couldn’t get past a “ketchup” tang that the VA seemed to be supporting. Have seen this also in Christian tchidas wines as well.
Otherwise easy drinking, ample blue and black berries, but the light alcohol makes it fun to drink. Wish the weird edge wasn’t there, but maybe that was this bottle.
