The nose is on the rich side. Black currant berry and leaves, wet leather, mild vanilla, nutmeg.
On the palate black currant berry’s stems and leaves! ripe sweet cherry, lingonberry, toasted star anis and lots of it!, coffee, wet wood, tobacco and vanilla. The wine is lacking acidity completely witch gives it kinda soft mouthfeel. However firm tannins brings posture to the wine as a whole, but it’s rather weak and effortless in flavour.
Short tannic black currant driven aftertaste.
There is clearly trying but the wine needs more flavour and expression to be even mediocre.

Pretty good value.
Pepper nose, balanced tongue with some tannin. Minty vanilla and leather flavors. Short flat finish.

Peppery but too much of a sting on initial taste. Overbearing taste
