  This bottle performed much better than my last bottle. Very sharp nose of spices, pepper and fresh herbs. Delicious dark cherry and violet floral aroma bursting in the mouth with a good intensity. It's such a bargain with less than US$7. Highly recommended.

  Sharp nose of spices, bell pepper, fresh herbs shown just after opening bottles and then more aroma of mulberry and violet flower came out. Taste of mulberry and dark cherry was quite OK with some pepper spiciness. Full body but not in big and jammy style. Some dry tannin at finish. Some dark cherry and mulberry aftertaste. Overall exceeded my expectation because I just bought it at US$6 from supermarket.

  Violets, blackberry and spices on the nose with a hint of dried herbs. The palette is very dry and tannic, with a powerful leather and mulberry mid palette, that leads to a finish of more tannins and a bright acidity.
