This was our pizza wine tonight... and was perfect for that. Lots of floral character and plenty of herbs, with juicy red fruit and palate-cleansing acid.

Most of the time when a wine is referred to as simple it's a criticism, but in this case it's just the opposite. Its straightforward nature and tone are perfectly in tune, so much so that it may not be immediately apparent how special a wine like this is. There's a unique signature in the harmony. The balance between strawberry and pomegranate, and lavender and rose could not be better, and how they got the herbs to fall in as parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme is comical. It's worth pondering whether its lack of ageability is a detriment or evidence of its rarity.

Superb value for money, exactly what you hope to taste when you open a Montepulciano

Airy, fruity, less full than the Rioja before it. A great lively family wine. Wait for it to open for 5 minutes or so, otherwise it'll lay a little flat.

(15.5/20) Лёгкий, свежий аромат спелых ягод вишни, малины, граната с лёгкой нотой вишнёвой косточки. Лёгкое тело, высокая кислотность, мелкозернистые, чуть суховатые, но ненавязчивые танины. Вкус соответствует аромату, однако усиливается тон вишнёвой косточки и становится больше похож на марципан. В целом, весьма приятное, свежее и лёгкое красное вино.

(16/20) Довольно интенсивный аромат вишни с нотами табака, белого перца и ванили. Высокая кислотность и мелкозернистые, ещё сухие танины. Во вкусе незрелая вишня, малина, перечная нота. Свежее, очень молодое вино, лучше подождать ещё год.
