We poured the wine into a decanter and served the first glass immediately. It was bright medium ruby in colour and was rather limited on the nose, with shy aromas of dark and red fruits and some spices. On the palate the wine showed cherry, red currant, a slight spiciness, hints of liquorice, tobacco and coffee, and low tannins. The light- to medium-bodied wine was driven by good acidity. It was round, well-made and very easy-drinking. It benefited from 30+ minutes aeration. A very solid wine offering a good QPR.

Basic but good... Smooth wine from beginning to end, nice vibrant fruit, little acidity, slightly above average finish.

Spice and fennel on the nose. Nice ripe fruit, good structure and spice.

Nose that opened slowly. Quite grippy on the palate, which was wonderfull with the italian food. Wine kept evolving and was very nice indeed.
