Not outstanding but turned out to be quite drinkable. Not especially complex, with a bit too much acidity at first opening, but it did settle down and achieve some balance after some air. It was actually better the second day.

Pairing nicely with an excellent lasagne from Daniele in schaffhausen. Deep purple color. Nice red cherry and strawberry fruit, vanilla, white pepper, on the nose. Med acidity, med body, med alcohol, med flavor intensity, med tannins, med finish. Sweet fruit, orange, a touch of green pepper, nice chewiness, a bit too much vanilla to my taste. Overall very well drinking, really enjoyable and this for a ridiculous QPR. Recommend for any day.

Better than the previous bottle, classic pencil box nose and a bit more dark fruit coming through but for me still to much acidity to make me want more of this wine, better with food than on its own, not much length.

Lacks concentration. Easy and light but with a slight acidic undertone.

Dramatically improved on day 2. Quite out of balance on day 1 - too acidic for me. For schlurping at best.
