13.5% alcohol. From a half bottle. Short dense reconstituted cork. Medium to light colour. The nose is interesting with good pure aromas of red cherries. The mouth does not quite deliver on that promise; there is a nice spicy component but not much else. The balance between alcohol and acidity is good. I bought this in half bottles to serve as a picnic wine, and it is perfectly fit for that purpose. Otherwise, I find it too bland for my taste. Not a repeat purchase.

No formal notes, but this wine is actually showing quite well considering it's age. Big cherry on the nose and quite rustic on the palate. It was enjoyable considering my low expectations.

light to med bodied, dark garnet, mild tannins. Red berries and not-fully-ripe strawberries on the tongue. Short finish. Very approachable and good with food.

Clear dark garnet and leggy to to eye, cherries over vanilla to the nose soft on the palate but overall watery body. Sad
