Medium body - not too tart
Plum notes
More dark fruit notes than red berries but on the cusp of both

This a great medium-bodied red. Flavors of dark fruits such as plum. Would definitely drink again.

Super oaky, really strong tannins, darkfruits, medium bodied and bitter aftertaste, would be good for someone who likes strong tannins

Ruby color, similar to malbec, not only, nice finish (most likely due to age), more dark fruit but also notes of cherry, a good middle ground

super acidic smell (I am afraid to drink it),
I am getting very oaky notes kinda of over powering, i’d say its dark fruit, not super dark- in the middle, has a nice finish because it’s an older vintage, initial taste I am not the biggest fan of.

It tastes like prune and plum. It’s tart but earthy. Medium bodied with a good finish - probably because it’s a 2018.

Medium bodied with string tannins. Heavy notes of oak and cedar, accompanied by dark fruit flavors of prune and cherry.
