Pours a light body as it’s expected. The biggest note in the nose is some medium funkiness - nothing overpowering, that opens up to showcase cranberry, cherry juice, blueberry, fresh crushed granite and light bubblegum. The nose also suggests that grapes weren’t destemmed and/or that there was old wood barrels being used.
The taste is acidic with power tannins. The cranberry notes are in harmony with that. There’s also cherry and blueberry as well but they get a bit hidden with such tannins. This leads me to say that this wine is still way too early for the wine to be drank - at least according to my liking. Nonetheless, you can see the potential in aging and it’s obvious this is a great bang for buck if you can wait half a decade or more to open it.

Light and acidic. Strawberry, spice note comes clear but couldn’t stand the funky taste. Not my thing.
