Medium minus ruby. Rose, raspberry, tart cherry, cranberry scone, a hint of game. Wild and yet elegant. Medium plus acidity, medium sugar.

Last bottle from a case. Stupidly good for its price, easy drinking but serious at the same time. Forest berries, pleasant acidity, medium finish.

2017. Smager lidt gammelt og henkogt. Har mistet den prikkende friskhed. Øv. Lakrids, solbær, læder. Tanniner.

Deep pink. Bright and fresh, clear and palatable. A bit of astringency comes through, holds itself well, races towards a finish of blueberries, and fig jam.

Черноплодка, моченое яблоко, лавр. Стройно, чисто, несложно. В стиле каб фран

It was between this and something called “You Fuck My Wine,” which was a tough choice but I think I made the right decision. Have this extra light, naturally made gamay & chardo blend on a bit of a chill and it’s like licking a tart little cornucopia of red fruits.
