  7€/10$ in Germany. Cabernet/Carmenere, barrel aged, 14.5% vol.
  Eye: dark purple red, slow legs.
  Nose: dark berry fruits, vanilla, wood, leather, mocha, sweet, intense, complex, tasty. 12/15p.
  Palate: good texture, round, full, decent sweetness of ripe berries, a little spice, medium(+) tannins, medium acidity, versatile. 12/15p.
  Body/Balance: Well balanced, full bodied, almost no alcoholic heat. 8/10p.
  Finish: Medium(+) long finish, tasty, dry but fruity. 7/10p.
  Awesome for the price, great value, a pleaser with almost no edges but not boring at all.
  12+12+8+7(+50) = 89/100

  Nose: There is noticeable oak right off the bat, but it's not overdone and wraps around tones of dark red cherries, dark red fruits, and some bits of herbs.
  
  Taste: Full bodied with medium acidity. There is nice balance to the tones of dark red cherries, oak, and herbs. The depth is lacking with the oak being a bit more noticeable on the palate.
  
  Overall: This is a very good wine. While the oak is slightly heavier handed, it isn't too obtrusive.
