  Pale ruby, color with slow legs. Cedar, toasted oak and red cassis on the nose. Raspberry, cranberry and red plum on the palate. Medium leathery finish.

  Pretty good, but kind of run of the mill overall. Yes, the fruit is there, plums, prunes, dried cranberries, hints of cacao, vanilla, cracked pepper. Tannins also present, but overall this wine is not very balanced and comes off as somewhat rustic. Drinkable. Should improve with cellaring.

  This is such an easy-to-drink wine!
  
  Pale ruby and showing some oily legs.
  
  Its aroma intensity is not strong, but enough so you can smell a profile of juvenile raspberries and black cherries mingling with a faint perfumed scent of cardamon and a soft and extra light idea of vanilla or cocoa in the background. Predominantly the smell is fruits, though.
  
  In your mouth, you get nothing but a confirmation of the fruit nectar you whiff but not as sweet but REALLY smooth, some but not many astringent tannins, and a tiny bit of tingling acidity.
  
  Got 2 more bottles and will be enjoying them soon
