  2/4/2023 - Screwcaps Does not like this wine:

  A note on the 2020, pop and pour.
  
  Medium purple. Heady, liquorice and dark fruited nose.
  
  Full bodied, high glycerol and alcohol.
  
  Crunchy dark fruit, orange juice added acid. Finishes crunchy , thin flavoured, with heat and a little menthol.
  
  This is not for me. Less than good. Pretty label, but this is more for getting the party started than conversation.
  
  A very commercial wine. Sweet, acidic, high alcohol, lack of tannin, and thin flavoured. Hard to enjoy.
  
  30mins later...
  Once the alcohol numbs a little, a meaty peppery chew fills the finish. Hard acid edges meet breathy menthol though the finish.
  
  This has such an alcohol burn through the finish. I tried to like it.

  Light ruby/purple, medium to light body, medium alcohol, lime and cut grass on the nose, dry, medium high acidity, minimal tannins, brief finish. Quite interesting for the value price point.
