deep, scarlet colour, shiny and thick but not seductive. nose: tart-steel notes plus some dishcloth in first attack, later more fruits appear. taste: hot, baked dark fruits; alcohol visible; opaque tannis - rather green. Not balanced and awkward. We left full glasses for the next day - was better. Generally not worth 15EUR.

I love the nose on this wine- black cherry/blackberry layered with a meaty component, barnyard and a hint of earth. The palate also begins with dark fruit, but doesn't quite have the same depth or intensity as the nose. It progresses to an earthy/herbal midpalate, then a fairly lengthy finish adding a floral note. Noticeable acidity and medium tannins. Overall quite pleasant, great for weekday sipping.

Pleasant mid-week wine. Rich jammy taste. Soft tannins. Lovely with chicken, sherry cream sauce
