Pop and pour!
The colour is very dark opaque red, with a dark creamy purple on the edges.
Nose: Right after opening, clear Pinot Noir plus something bordeauesque on the nose (it is Pinot Noir and Regent). After half an hour in the bottle, the alcohol (13,5%) starts to show, along with a bit of graphite and citric zest. It smells like a Bordeaux now, only a very thin layer left that reminds me of Pinot Noir. Nose is not very intense now. Violets.
Palate: Medium+ body with plum and graphite. Tannins are mild and integrated.
Tannins stay the longest in the minute-long finish, next to dark fruit.
Seems like an extremely good value to me. And it doesn't seem too young. No idea as to how well this stores from now, but it's absolutely drinkable now.
