France, Burgundy, Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune
Medium red and brightly colored. Cherry and earth on the nose. Tart cherries and raspberries on the palate. Very light bodied. Almost thin. A little bit of burnt tire. Short finish. Meh.
Very light almost strawberry colored. A little barnyard funk but only an intriguing rather than off-putting amount. Almost a little smoky. Meaty and spicy cherries with a hint of spearmint. Very well balanced and not over oaked. Nice lingering finish.
Australia, Victoria, Port Phillip, Mornington Peninsula
Red with a hint of brown. Soapy and very distinctive. Starts out fruit but ends with a burst of tart fruit. A little tobacco and a little vegetables. Lots of cola on the nose. Waxy.
Red with brown hints. A little funky but with cake spice. Asphalt. Red cherries, lots of other red fruits and spice. A meaty/sanguine element. A little burnt plastic on the palate that's off putting. Nice structure and a lingering finish.
