Incredible value. Nose upon opening is subdued but started to open after a few minutes in the glass. eucalyptus mint, Slight Cedar, tobacco box, vanilla. Mild acidity and silky tannins. Ripe blueberry. Absolutely delicious!
Not bad for the $15 price point I purchased this at. It has 2 years of oak, which is insane. Nose is red fruits (cherries) and has some oak influence. Tannins are nicely structured, Rufina is colder and usually has some stronger tannins but this hits right. Longer finish, had with classic spaghetti bolognese. Put a little in the sauce as well, will definitely buy again. Great table wine

Definitely slight brett’ness but not terrible. Blueberry and plum aroma. Some slight effect from the aging. Tasted like cherries with some roundness, mild acidity. Mild tannins. 89
