Medium-light nose of red fruit, medium fruty bodied with some spicy flavours. An everyday wine that could pair well with pizza. There are many other better options for €10.

Decanted first for an hour before serving, as recommended on the bottle. Sipped on it's own without food.
Quite aeromatic with a pleasant spicy berry fruit smell. Great mouth feel. Balanced. Velvety smooth dry tannins. A taste of mixed berries; strawberries,raspberries & blackberries . A long lasting finish. It tastes like a high quality wine should.
My wife pointed out the good tobacco smoke smell, and vanilla. Also the black licorice aftertaste. Not as complex as 90 pt wines so I'd give this an 89. It's excellent and hope to get some more of this for my cellar. For $14 a bottle at the LCBO I'm pleased.

Not bad. A bit overly fruity. Not a lasting finish but soft plummy fruit in the meantime.
