Dark garnet red with pink rims. Little on the nose, but dark berry fruit flavor on the palate. Medium- tannins when chilled, Medium as it warmed up. Medium- to Low acid. Medium length of flavor, 3-4 seconds. Drank with ratatouille, Italian sausage, sweet corn. Also with side of balsamic vinaigrette tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella. Tasted best with the sausage and ratatouille. Tasted worst with the vinaigrette (as would be expected). My wife did not like the wine. I would purchase it again, probably drink it a little cooler, and maybe hold it for another year in storage.

Brought the wine as a gift for Thanksgiving Dinner (US). It was opened that day with said dinner. It was drinkable, but it wasn't very enjoyable to me. Other guests drank it with no complaint. I was fighting a cold, so this easily would affect my enjoyment of the wine. True to form, I have a second bottle for a later tasting.

Light to medium body, bright purple red color, fresh and aromatic, red fruits and floral aroma, dominant strawberry on the palate, juicy on finish, medium long finish, very fresh, refreshing acidity, thin tannins. Best match is meat or fowl. Open quarter hour in advance. Serve 16º - 18º. Drink now.

Not sure if this is a good thing or bad thing, but I expected Nouveau, and I got something more.
