Very expressive nose with oak, blackberries jam, a bit of heat too. The palate has a bit of width and weight. Low acid, a bright blackberry fruit, a milky mouthfeel, a spherical mid palate without any asperity and a short milky, fruity finish. Well... That's very easy going, borderline too easy. Not my taste

It’s a nice, cheap wine. It’s simple and pleasant. The nose is full of coffee with a pepper on the palate. Short finish, short pleasure.

Elderberry, violet, blueberry concentrate with spices, menthol and/or anise and dust. Medium-bodied. Rich, thick, warm palate with a long lingering finish. A little etchy on the first sip though.
