Light berry/blackberry smell, not alcoholic smell. Very dry, smooth with slight tannic/acidic bite to it. Tastes of black currant and blackberry. Beautiful dark purple colour. On second tasting: black currants, woody, pine-like taste. Nice lingering finish, surprisingly strong. Nice with strong creamy cheese.

Light fruity smell. Smooth wine which has more body than expected from the smell. Taste of tea leaf, dry herbs, oak, and black current. Found the tannin a bit overpowering. A bit of a sour grape undertone. Much better to pair with food.
