On the nose; medium intensity of flavors, fresh dark fruits, cherry, blueberry. On the palate oak very dominant, suppressing overall aromatic character. Unbalanced, medium intensity of aromas, medium finish, no complexity.
On the nose; oak dominant with some faulty grape smell, alcohol also dominant. On the palate oak dominant, tannins very angular, weak aromatic profile. Falls short of grape potential.
On the nose; slightly herbal, asparagus, thyme, rosemary, nigella seed, light grass, little florality. On the palate high acidity, medium+ aromatic intensity, medium finish. Slight saltiness. Compared to previous years, the yeast-dominant aromas have faded, showing more of the grape’s varietal character, a more herbal style of SB. Balanced, medium aromatic intensity, medium finish, no complexity.
On the nose; red fruit characteristics, medium intensity overall, alcohol noticeable. On the palate red fruits dominant, alcohol very strong. Finish leaves only alcohol. Lower drinking pleasure. Fruitiness fair but high alcohol ruins it.
On the nose; oak aromas dominate, vanilla, light hazelnut, pear. On the palate medium aromatic structure, alcohol feels a bit high. Pear, green apple aromas dominate. Low body, medium finish. Style did not appeal to me much.
On the nose; pleasant fruitiness, strawberry, rosehip, slight alcohol. On the palate tannins noticeable, decent aromatic profile, red fruits intense, especially rosehip, cranberry. Alcohol a bit pronounced but not overly dominant. Nicely made claret style. Alcohol slightly disrupts balance, aromatics fair, medium finish, no complexity. Not a bad wine, could become a good claret if crafted better.
