Friday, May 21, 2021 - NOSE
Intensity: pronounced
Grape juice, blackcurrant, red cherries, chocolate cherry cake, plum, strawberry jam, licorice

PALATE
Body: medium+
Acidity: medium+
Intensity: pronounced
Red fruits, cherries, dates, raisins, dried prunes, spicy, candy, licorice, a bit of cough syrup
The alcohol feels like 14.5%, even though it is only 13%

TEXTURE
Tannins: medium
Smooth, round

BALANCE
The alcohol feels a little high
But other than that, it was nice
Rounder than I expected it would be

COMPLEXITY
Mostly primary flavours
Only a tiny bit of secondary flavours
Around 50 minutes in, there was a big drop-off

FINISH
Length: medium
Alcohol, dates, a bit of mocha

CONCLUSION
Readiness: drink now
For this price, I thought this wine was great bang for the buck.
A fruit-forward wine, the flavours were really enjoyable. But just remember to drink it fast.
