Great wine! Popped and poured. Transparent beautiful vibrant red colour. A wine clearly on the more light or elegant side. On the nose fresh red fruit. Reminds me of red currant and cherries. Also deep "forest floor", or what I in my country(Norway) would call "lyng" or maybe heather in English. I also agree with fellow taster that it smells like bacon(In a good way!), or like barbecue. A light and fresh taste, long aftertaste and quite strong acidity for a red. In the beginning some unpleasant vinegary/soapiness aftertaste which more or less disappeared. Slightly reminded me of Niepoort charme 2021 which I don't like. All in all a wine I would highly recommend at the price i payed(less than 100 euros I think). I will buy more if I can. PS: I am a beginning wine enthusiast.

Great wine. Pleasant flinty aroma to start, then sweet lime and cotton candy. Tastes limelike with strong acidity. Sweetness is dominated by acidity and allmost un-noticeable. Thought it would be like a feinherb from karthuserhof or kruger-rumpf because of the sugar content, but I can now understand why it isnt branded as such. Regret not buying more bottles.
