  November 20, 2012 - Lightly translucent, dark garnet color. Rather ripe and sweet but quite enjoyable nose with aromas of strawberry, ripe plummy fruit, some fresh forest berries, a little vanilla and a slightest whiff of funky farmhouse aromas. With some air the oak notes of vanilla and mocha gain more prominence. Overall the nose seems very Bordeaux-like with more ripe, new world sensibility. After the enjoyable nose the palate comes as a poor surprise: the wine is extremely overripe, sweet and flabby on the palate - the wine tastes almost off-dry, even though there is no residual sugar in the wine. Overall the wine is made in a modern new world style with excessively sweet, overripe fruit flavors of raspberry jam, blackberry marmalade and plum compote with overextracted oak flavors of caramel, latte, butterscotch and chocolate milkshake. The wine fees so polished it has no edges, structure nor any character. The mouthfeel is very smooth, soft and flabby with no tannins and very low acidity. The finish is soft, sweet and easy with a short aftertaste of strawberry jam, vanilla creme and milk chocolate oak.
  
  The wine feels really unenjoyable and almost industrial in its excessively soft, sweet and overoaked style. Even though the nose promises much, the wine lacks every possible character I expect to find in a wine. Here we have an overdone, excessively polished, modern red wine that lacks structure and persona. Really a poor purchase at 10,98€. Not recommended one little bit.
