  Medium body, smooth tannins. On the nose there are blueberries, plums, raspberry and some roasted aromas. It has a very rounded taste with a combination of mixed wild berries with some earthy and roasted flavours. The finish is quite short and ends in some peppery notes that were not present before. Overall a very enjoyable wine for a good price!

  The color is translucent pale cherry red, typical for the variety. The nose exhibits classic pinosity; floral violet aromas, redcurrants, some earthiness, a little raspberry and a touch of smoke. Quite light-bodied and fresh on the palate with bright flavors of ripe cherries, tart cranberries and some positive, slightly peppery spice. Nice structure that relies mostly on the bright, lingonberry acidity, but also on the slightly grippy tannins. The finish is quite long and rather acid-driven with bright flavors of tart red berries, some spiciness and a hint of smoke.
  
  A very reliable and balanced everyday Pinot Noir. Tasty stuff with lighter dishes. Worht its price at 11,48€.
