Stewed fruit and vanilla on the nose, with a very accessible palate of cooked cherry and chocolate shavings. Although I loved my first glass, over time it becomes a little oversweet and fatiguing. Seemed more new world than I was expecting. Nevetheless, I was impressed enough that I will seek out De Forville's barberescos.

Fairly modern. A bit thin and light. Good red cherries but ultimately rather simple and charmless.
