Great value and just so delicious to drink as always. Deep dark berry notes, black cherries, some smoke, tobacco and a touch of minerailty, as well as some sweet spices. It's medium bodied, with good persistence and nice medium-high acidity and some lower-medium tannin. Medium length. An uncomplicated, juicy and delicious blend that will work with plenty of different food.

Very dark with light rim. Almost black and not clear. Nose: robust, sweet, plum jam, blackberries, some violets and leather. Taste: lighter than nose, but of great structure, medium acidity, nice, despite tbe age, well integratd tannins. Tobacco in the finish. Very well done.

Ripe sour cherry red --- Nose flowery, marzipan, bitter almond, lilac, minerality, iodine, sweetness, candy shop --- Palate fresh, acidic, medium body, herbs, some sweetness, forest floor, herbal charachter, elegant tartness, orange peel, sour cherry --- Finishes on minerality, red fruit notes and earthy tones, black olives at the end. If you try a lot of vines you are tempted to put the vine in your pre-defined categories. This vine destroys every temptation, it is unique. Many floral and herbal aspects I cannot put in words. Drinking it I feel nativeness, wildness and beauty. It definitely needs aeration. Delicious and captivating.

Light Bordeaux red --- Nose mixture of charcoal, red fruit and herbs, cherries --- elegant, matured, classic, very attractive, captivating --- Palate nice acidity, ash, dried flowers, anise, herbs, cherries, tar --- Finishes so light and benevolent on red fruit, ash and minerality. This vine is in a very nice place right now, you do not feel the 14,5% alc. at all, reminds me of the Faro Palari 2005 in its light and elegant while intensive herbal, fruity charachter.
