c'est léger et un brin amère.
Finale courte sans accroc. -

August 29, 2018 - Tart and acidic. Probably too much so for my taste. Red berry and coffee/tobacco notes. I wouldn’t hold onto this much longer.

January 13, 2018 - Nice aroma of fruit and cherry blossom. Very well structured on the pallet. Rich cherry, plum, oak and spice flavors. Long finish.

November 28, 2017 - I last drank this in June of 2016 and remarked that it was incredibly dry and lacked flavor. Must have been an off bottle because this experience was definitely better. Although still not a great wine, it held up nicely. The tannins were much better integrated and less drying. The flavors were present, even if not strong. All-in-all, a perfectly acceptable $15 bottle. Although I still wouldn't recommend holding on to them for much longer. www.vincrush.com
