Better than the vintages past. This year is very heavy on pepper and spice, finishing strong with dark fruit notes. Wonderfully paired with lighter, sharp firm cheese or chocolates

Nov 30th, 2022So, I got this wine and somehow I was already disappointed - but the label and name really caught my attention - mostly because I don't like Californian wines. Nothing against them... Just personal preferences.
I opened this one, read "a pessimist is never disappointed" in the back and I was surprised. Very balanced wine. From the smell to the taste. Dark fruits on smell, low alcohol, easy to drink. Not remarkable, but at the same time very well structured. A little of wood, maybe. Very easy to drink.
