  3/4/2020 - SAND Likes this wine: 85 Points

  13.5% ABV.
  NOSE: Red berries with several streaks of blue & black berries. Also quite a bit of herbal, garrigue like notes in the immediate background. A lovely, immediate, juicy, light & dark fruity nose. (86p)
  TASTE: Juicy, fruity, lots of red and some blue & black berries. Medium to medium light body. An underlying dry streak of tannins makes this a versatile wine for enjoying on its own as well as with lighter and medium taste intensity food dishes. (85p)
  OVERALL: A wine which successfully juggles the zones of cocktail/pre-dinner wine and food wine. Should keep well until at least 2023 (probably quite a bit longer) but will then probably lose its current fruit driven charm and become a different animal. Great QPR. TOTAL SCORE 85 points.
