  PnP. Dark ruby. Dark fruit on the nose. Initially overly acidic, but with air more balanced, a smooth cabernet. Although lacking complexity, this is a decent wine for the price. If only this was on the wine list of every modestly priced restaurant. ADDENDUM: Drinking well on day 4.

  Muted nose but with time comes cassis and flowery notes. Firm, linear and classic palate with a certain smoothnes. Feels like old world.

  Bottle open one hour, no decant. Black/ruby. Spice fruit. Rich, plum. tastes like a Chilean Cab. Astringent finish. Improves considerably with further air. Initially 83, but at that stage 85 (points). Second time tasting; this is better than the 2018.

  Bright ruby. This needs a good decant - I gave it two hours. At first the nose is quite funky in a green way. But after the decant more clear green pepper and cassis aromas dominate. The palate feels fresh with nice acidity and integrated tannins. Pleasant but quite short finish.
  
  I notice a lot of bad reviews. I wonder if we are tasting the same wine or if there is some kind of problem in the proces of assuring quality with a very high production wine.
