July 20, 2017 - Tobacco, plum, smoke and dark berries on the nose. Nice tannins with long ageing potential. Paired with baked chicken breast covered by tomado sauce, onions and muzzarela cheese. Very good bottle!

June 25, 2015 - Over the top packaging. Nice clear garnet color. Aromas of musty dark fruit. Fruity flavors of dark cherry and black olive, nicely integrated into a lengthy finish. Very nice, but a bit jammy for my taste.

The wine is dry in the mouth with a medium(-) acidity. It has medium(+) tannins and a high warm alcohol. It has a medium(+) body and medium intensity flavours of red fruit (generic), pungent spices (liquorice), herbaceous (green bell pepper) and hints of volatile acidity (nail varnish remover). The finish is medium.
It is a good quality wine. It has just enough fruit concentration and an average finish to qualify as a technically well-made everyday wine. But it lacks fruit concentration and complexity to be considered anything else.
Drink now, not intended for further ageing. It has some tannic structure, but it lacks acidity and fruit concentration to develop interesting flavours. However it could be kept for 1-2 years without problems.
