A blend of 80pc merlot and 20pc cab franc. Still quite deep red, initially this impresses with its freshness. Plenty of merlot plum and mulberry fruit, maybe even a touch of chocolate as well. Only the faintest green hint. In the mouth there is plenty of red fruit character, maybe a touch thin in the mid palate before closing with surprisingly firm tannins. I think this is pretty darn good for c€20, not sure why others scored quite so low.

Medium bodied, forward, round, obvious style of wine with a black cherry and espresso nose and palate. This is not a wine for aging, I'd opt for drinking this on the young side.

Gang of 5 in Covid19 times; No theme. We each brought some wines. (@ RW): Some barnyard and cherries in the bouquet. On the palate herbs and spices and slightly sticky tannin. I did not make more notes.
