balanced, not sweet. Fairly straightforward without a lot of nuance/complexity, but very pleasing. Would pair well with many foods. Flavors of forrest/moss, oak and vanilla.

The wine looks purple colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like forest floor. It tastes like black olive, mushroom and cranberry. The body is full. The wine has leathery texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has high acidity. Strong tannins and complex but tight flavors suggest this could benefit from aging.

Rich yellow color. Pleasing, but simple. Short finish. Not much oak. Nice, full mouthfeel. Low tannins.
