August 23, 2020 - Open up for half hrs, and drink over 4 hrs
Appearance: med ruby-purple with legs
On nose: med+ intensity, red fruit: cranberries, raspberry, red flora, orange peel, and some spiciness, after 2hrs later, it develops into wet stone and mineral, black tea leafiness and tobacco with a hint of vanilla oak. Lovely and pleasant development.
On palate : Med intensity flavor, high acidity, red fruit-forward, cranberries, raspberry, orange peel, with a very good structure given by the red fruit acidity, lingered with soft tannin and med alcohol. It brings you some mineral and leafiness at the back with med finishing. After 3 hrs, the structure was still there but the flavor had declined a lot.
This wine is surely a new-world style, not much elegancy but it does give us a contented aroma and doubtlessly it has a smooth and easy drink character. My wife loves it but I still prefer the old-world elegancy pinot from Burgundy. I think it could be drunk now or hold it for 3 more years.3,186 views
