Clear and bright, pale ruby colour and presence of legs. The nose is clean and youthful, showing medium+ intensity simple aromas of strawberry candy, blackberry and cassis. The wine is off-dry in the mouth with medium- acidity, medium+ soft round tannins, high alcohol, medium+ body and medium intensity simple flavours of strawberry candy, blackberry and cassis. Medium finish.
It is an acceptable quality wine with a good balance between tannins and alcohol, but it could have more fruit concentration, complexity and a longer finish. Drink now, but has potential to be aged for 1-2 years.

Heavy and dense. 15% ABV. I can't find much structure except heavy

Warm spices, rich red fruit, powerful on the palate. Frankly, this is probably the best expression of this that I have ever had.
