June 16, 2019 - Deep ruby red with purple splashes, medium optical density, and high reflectivity. Aromas are light and pleasant, with bubble gum confection, dusty candied red fruits, and gravel. Medium minus body on the palate with fresh acidity and a rustic texture with some tannic bite on the back end. Very dry. Flavours of red fruits (cherry, raspberry) with herbs on the attack with good intensity and a very simple profile. The midpalate fades away some, with dusty leather notes overtaking the fruit. The finish is short and dry, with tobacco leaf and just a faint hint of bubble gum. Very simple, plain, and with a certain charm, this is decent in intensity and a refreshing everyday wine.
Well made, value-driven wine. Not a lot of personality or depth, but definitely won't go wrong at the price.1 person found this helpful Comment -

January 6, 2019 - Lots of delicious red fruit, including cherry, raspberry and cassis, along with powerful herbal notes. Was surprisingly tart upon opening, but eventually progressed into something much more smooth, silky and smoky.
