Purple, cloudy with a spritz, but beautifully pure grape and red fruit profile. Sweet fruited, just slightly lifted, herbal finish. Not pedestrian but full of character.

12% alcohol. Vey good long dense cork, barely stained. Poured a glass 20mn ahead, and I swear that I could smell it from 5 m away, great start; unfortunately it is all downhill from here. The colour is extremely pale, midway to rosé, and definitely cloudy. The nose is interestingly floral at first with rose petal aromas, but it deteriorates fast. The mouth is just awful with wildly excessive acidity and cider-like fermentary flavours. I had to abandon this bottle after the second sip; we are literally in D-N-P-I-M territory here. Bacterial spoilage maybe? An unstable wine for sure, even though the back label (from the importer) says that it contains sulphites.
Three different wines from this producer so far, one interesting, one so-so, and one undrinkable, with the enjoyment factor in reverse order of the price. Not a great record, so I will ignore this producer in future, but I have a few bottles left...

Some reduction that disappears with aeration. Lovely red fruits, balanced acidity and a lingering finish. Nice clean wine at good price
