Bought three and this is the first!! Bright, somewhat simple but cheery in its way. Little nose, decent slightly fuzzy mouthfeel, fuzzy, okay length. Seems to be a bit worse for wear having been open for an hour.

Full, bright nose of cherry, strawberry and herbs with some heat. Palate is juicy and round. Very lifted with nice fruit. A more simple wine than I recall - more akin to a good CdR.

Full nose has bright, candied red fruit and licorice. Richly fruited palate is full-bodied with ripe and candied fruit. More licorice and Rhone-like herbs. Good purity and persistence. Loads of zingy acidity carry into a long finish. Nice but the candied aspect was a bit distracting.

Licorice and red fruits on the nose. Very smooth on the palate, this bottle went down effortlessly.

Red Carpet Wine Tasting: Good licorice nose; Good spice; Very good full mid-palate blend
