Color: Red, orange, purple. Nose: Pretty reserved nose of blackberry, black currant. Flavor: A little watery on the midpalate. Watery mouthfeel. No front tongue flavor. Acidic fruit on the middle and back of tongue. Some vegetal flavors too, strangely enough. Finish is less than average. Tannins low, grip medium.

Always offers similar cherry red fruit, good acidity, lightness and refreshment. It is an excellent all round food wine, the acidity on the finish giving it the cut to go with most things. Maybe it is a little reticent on the nose but don’t be fooled by the faded colour as it pours. This wine is vibrant and far from shot.

Strong alcohol and earth on nose, more fruit came out as the wine sat. The flavor began hot and moderated nicely during the meal.
