  PnP, natural cork, 14% Alc., dark violet red color.
  
  Nose: Black berries, raspberry, pleasant.
  
  Palate: Medium body, good freshness and balance, velvet black berries and raspberry, harmonious with structure through a delicate warm wood tone. Still young. Very good accompaniment to Italian pasta dishes with tomatoes.
  
  If the label said St. Emilion, the ratings would be significantly higher here. Unfortunately my last bottle. Looking forward to 2019.

  I've had quite a few of these and they all have been nice. Mixed red fruit, good acidity and tannins, plenty of alcohol.

  I think waited a bit too long: little fruit, too much acidity.

  Opened to a Pasta Bolognese.
  
  PnP, 14% Alc., bright dark purple red.
  
  Nose: Wild black berries, gentle.
  
  Palate: Gentle, wonderful harmonious and 'juicy', black wild berries, very delicate use of wood, a touch bitterness, delicious and very drink animating. What a great wine for a price of 12 Euros.
  
  In 2019, a colder vintage, I will top up on that again!

  Again, a modern-ish easy drinking red with a lot of fruit but not a lot of weight. Tannins were pretty soft as well. Flavor profile was somewhat over-ripe and anonymous (blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franc, and a couple of others) but pleasant enough. Not bad for the money. Can hold this for several more years at least, but I don't see this improving and turning into something more profound.
