Clear light red color. Light nose with red currant and cherries. Similarly light on the palate, which is dominated by fruit. Lacks complexity and lenght. A bit too much like a fruit punch to me.
Medium light red color. Not giving that much on the nose, primarily some olivies and some red berries. More concentrated on the palate with good structure and some strawberry and tobaco. Good effort that still lack some complexity and something I can't quite put into words.
Light red color. Some red berries, strawberries on the nose. Kind of weak on the palate, watery, with strawberry and cherry flawors, of the not so warm weathered kind. Lacks some length.
Clear medium red color. Cherries and raspberry on the nose. Good mouth feel, starting all fruity, but gaining quite some bitterness on the aftertaste. Ends very dry.
Clear medium dark red color. Red currant, cherries, manure and tobaco on the nose. Good structure, intense fruit with pepper and spices. Long taste ending in a bit of bitternes.
Dark, yet clear red color. Intense nose with red currant and cherry, and something kind of undefinable, rhubarb? On the taste it has similarly intense fruit and some tobaco. The different, unknown nuances make it somewhat interesting.

Clear light red color. Complex nose of red berries, red currant and strawberry, and some dark mould and manure. On the palate it has more graceful elegance, combining fruit, licorice and bitter chocolate. Good long taste and very nice balance.
