Deep purple red. Sweet cherries and cedar with dry herb notes on the pretty nose. Rather closed when first poured, it opens up with air and really starts to show off. Well-structured with good fruit, nice acidity, and firm velvety tannins providing a proper backbone to this old-world style red. There is decent complexity and a moderately long finish. A great value!

Deep purple red. Sweet cherries and cedar with herbal dried parsley notes on the pretty nose. Rather closed when first poured, it opens up with air and really starts to show off. Well-structured with good fruit, nice acidity, and firm velvety tannins providing a proper backbone to this old-world style red. There is decent complexity and a moderately long finish. Though drinking nicely now, a few more years of bottle age wouldn’t hurt it a bit. A good match with beef or lamb, and a great value!

Nothing too impressive here. No formal notes. 85 points.
