July 10, 2022 - The wine looks purple colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, cranberry and black currant (cassis). It tastes like blackberry, cranberry, black currant (cassis), oak and vanilla. The body is medium/full. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has low acidity.
