February 26, 2021 - Decanted before serving.
The wine is clear, looks deep Ruby in colour.
There is no sediment in the bottle.
On the nose: Very fresh on the nose, with some sweetness - candied sweets, slight aniseed, fresh cherry and rasberry with some smoke coming at the end.
On the palate: Dark ripe cherry, smoke, black pepper, aniseed.
The body is medium.
The wine has slightly angular texture.
The wine finishes medium/long.
The wine has fresh to smooth acidity.
The wine has medium/low level of round Tannin.
Conclusion
A decent bottle but nothing special.
Some dark caramelised cherry and some savoury notes. Overall a bit one dimensional but good with food.
Benefitted with the decant. -
