Color is light cranberry juice, clear with orange note on the rim. Nose is spice, red cherry, some flowering note, and strawberry. Taste is quite silky, sweet, and juicy, really mellow with berries and zesty tangerine, some spices, and a bit of mineral and tannins show at very last. Aftertaste is a mix of sweetness. Mellow and slightly above the average. — a day ago

Color of ruby with purple shades on the rim, quite clear. Nose of milk chocolate, blackberry, ripe cherry, juicy grapes, and strength of alcohol. Taste of tobacco leaves, a bit tinkling coke cola, cherry jam, some subtle sweetness, plum, low in tannins, and a bit spice at the end. Aftertaste of some more spice and coke cola flavors, medium short, with a bit of bitter note. Considering the price, not bad at all. — 7 days ago

Color of shades of purple. Nose of dark fruits, like black and blueberry, vanilla sweetness, milk chocolate, and a bit spice. Taste of solid tannins, silky and mouthful, oaky and sweetness from vanilla and ripe black cherry, maybe a bit too sweet, spices and zest on 2nd wave, and a bit medicinal note. Tasty. Aftertaste is medium long, with warmth, more oak, more repetition from the tastes. Sip after sip. — 15 days ago

Color of purple mixed with ruby. Quite clear. Nose of cherry jam, blackberry, vanilla, a bit tobacco leaves, and plenty of sweetness note. Taste of solid tannins dressed with spice, tobacco leaves and sweetness from dark fruits and vanilla. I am impressed by the solid tannins she presents. Aftertaste is also quite long with flavors. Actually has some potential to age and some room to improve, especially on the nose. Nice steal. — 2 days ago
