Very basic, a good starter wine for those wanting to get into wine. Subtle, basic red. Smooth and easy drinking.

Juicy with cherry and plum notes and almost a saline note. Very quaffable.

Brambly fruit, kirsch, forest undergrowth, and some juniper in the nose. Gritty, yet fine, tannins carry the kirsch, red currants, and some cocoa powder through a medium plus finish. This could age for another 5-7 years with ease.

Rich. It’s a big wine. A little too hot. Dark fruits.

Very tasty with pork meatballs stewed in tomatoes. Fairly tannic with cherry and berry flavors.

Cherry, jammy, and maybe some cola and even cocoa. Slightly effervescent feel.

Either my palate has changed or this is a different vintage from my last bottle. I’m intrigued by the fruit notes - very cherry. While I’m not overwhelmed by the dry aftertaste it does have some strong appeal.

Весёлый нос. Вишня, жвачка, лёгкая летучка. Вкус чуть медицинский, с вишневой косточкой, гребнями, тоже с легкими искусственными ароматизаторами (забавно, когда в натуральном вине такое проскакивает). Чуть вяжущие танины. Просто, но интересно. Серьёзный вкус приятно контрастирует с молодежным носом.
