Very dark red in color, raspberry jam aroma. Notes of darker fruits up front to taste, mild acidity, and maybe one of the more unusual finishes I’ve encountered. Earthy minerals, plant-like and stone with a very bitter follow through. Not for me. (🎥 Last Night in Soho)

Yum. Dark intense fruit with perfectly integrated tannins lingering for minutes in the finish. Dark roasted coffee and dark chocolate edged with minerals.

Smooth, black cherry. There is some bitterness but I liked it. Bought at Mitsukoshi for ¥5,000.

Oh no, we didn’t particularly enjoy this wine. Although smooth it was quite bitter, not memorable and in my opinion there are nicer wines in the price range
