November 8, 2020 - Dark and brooding upon opening. Aromas of earth and stewed red fruit with a hint of rubber. Similar flavors, raisin, sour cherry, black tea. Fairly stiff acid and tannins on the finish that softened with food.

June 4, 2019 - Red berry aromas and flavors with moderate weight. Nice floral notes to start. Slightly tannic finish, but overall pleasant BTG restaurant wine.

January 28, 2019 - This is good value at 8 Euros. Has aromas of floor polish, raspberries, earth, terracotta hints and cherries. Its medium bodied tasty and spherical black and red fruits palate has lovely freshness. Ends medium long and fresh. 13%. Had this with Spaghetti Bolognese and it was an excellent match.
