  Lightly translucent dark cherry color. Moderately expressive aromas of sweet dark berries and dark fruits, even some jammy berry aromas, light hints of coffee, a touch of smoke and a whiff of alcohol. On the palate the wine feels quite full-bodied, pretty sweet and somewhat warm with flavors of ripe blackberries, some oaky hints of vanilla and milk chocolate and hints of juicy dark fruit. The tannins are pretty soft and mellow, whereas the acidity is really low, almost nonexistent - the wine has no structure to speak of. The finish is long, juicy and somewhat warm with sweet, mellow flavors of dark fruits, sweet oak spice and ripe blackcurrant.
  
  An incredibly boring entry-level Cab that could be described as "mediocre" at best. Shows no structure whatsoever - and a Cabernet Sauvignon should definitely show some structure. The 8 g/l of residual sugar seems to wash away all the nuances and character, resulting in an easy and sweet crowdpleaser-Cabernet. A red wine for people who think that normal dry red wines are too "sour". A disappointing effort and really poor value at 11,60€.

  Consistently one of my favorite staple wines. Easily as good as wines twice the price. It is a bit mellow but still with some pepper on the finish. Medium to light tannins. Slight oak. Well balanced acids. Fantastic QPR.

  well made and good for the price, but nothing stood out at me that would make me want to buy it again. Unmemorable.
