Good value everyday wine. Part of a wine advent calendar purchase. Garnet with raspberry/strawberry on the nose. Medium bodied with raspberry strawberry leather clove and undergrowth. Medium finish with soft tannins. Ideal for a holiday wine.

It smells and tastes a bit like merlot. I'm not sure yet what's in there 😊
There is a nice red fruit note on the nose with some spice (black pepper and white pepper), there is an earthy thing happening too and an herbal touch (I thought it was green bell pepper at first). The palate is well designed although not very rich. It is straight forward with a great acid drive, some matter on the sides but not much width and weight. That great red fruit note whistles all along and I mid palate a great tannic wall comes into effect with some sharp drying effect that goes on on the finish along with that red fruit note. This is probably much too young but it's kind of nice already, with a modern italian vibe to it.

Full bodied on the nose. Absolutely delightful; fresh and light and a little tart but not unpleasant.
