  ChTR kokous 08.02.2012 (SKO-toimisto): Decanted for 30 mins. A very pale orangeish red. The nose was quite pungent with physallis and a bit of tar, a bit off putting for me. The palate had a bit of a candy like aspect to it, almost a banana taste, but still with lots of acidity, maybe even a bit of rhubarb. A very lightweight wine, not bad, but not quite to my taste.

  Some stewed red berry fruit on the nose: raspberry, lingonberry - as well as clove, orange peel, Campari and some sweetish oak.
  Rather lightbodied with refreshing structure, mid-intense red berry fruit and herbs. The oak feels rather harsh and off-putting initially (much better on day2). Quite brief oaky finish.
  Disjointed and mediocre. Not worth the euros.

  9/3/2011 - Mike Ritner Likes this wine:

  Light red color. Bright red fruit, some stony earth, nice crisp acidity. There is not an excess of oak in this bottle; it might be there, but it is used carefully to add structure and is integrated well (and I am very oak-sensitive). The fruit is by no means overdone, confected, or sweet. It tastes like a typical, good-quality Sancerre rouge.
