So much NdA is just soft and fruity and quaffable, but not so interesting. This, OTOH, has a depth and complexity that compels additional focus. Elevated acidy and no lack of tannin allow all the beautiful fruit and earth notes top find their own space within the structure. Best NdA I've had in ages.

Interestingly this wine is have in chestnut barrels rather than oak. Gives it a hint of sweetness. Cherries and macerated strawberries. Midweight and floral. An attractive wine. Serve cool!

So drinkable and fresh. Good tannin and body. Chocolate, cherry and pepper. Great

Soft in the mouth, dark cherries blanket the taste. Lots of delicious fruit!
