  12/10/2023 - Honest Horse Likes this wine: 89 Points

  This is wine for Taylor Swift fans and guys who only do missionary, with their socks on.
  
  It’s a single generic (but very harmonious) note of “red berry perfume with oriental spice.” Nothing layered or complex—forget about the tasting wheel—but it’s very very harmonious, like a pleasant sedative rather than something to contend with. Not my favorite style personally, but there will be many fans, and I didn't hate it.
  
  Very pale purple/ruby. Light and translucent, as is reflected in the palate. Light bodied, definitely a bit racy at this age, probably only needs a few years to settle in as it’s already pretty balanced, but honestly it’s just boring.
  
  Dusty charcoal covering the nose at first, tart plum and pomegranate and red berries, highly perfumed, somewhat floral, a bit of light spice present. But again, better to just call it spiced red berry parfum.
