Vintage 2015 - Fruity, warm, comforting. My first wine from Turkey, and 😉 my first Öküzgözü and Bogazkere grapes - at restaurant Masal Tilburg

This is a really good value for the price! Light acidity. Dry. Medium body. Chocolate and tobacco. Easy drinking red, good with spicy food with some eastern beats and melodies...

#winesathome a lil unbalanced on the alcohol. I don't think I'd bang this one again. Wonder what I paid for it? Hoping < $11.99

Strong cherry aromas and flavors, very mild acid from the tart cherry and some mild but present tannins. Very food friendly. A blend of 4 grapes (Öküzgözü, Bogazkere, Alicante, Carignan) made in Turkey.

Slight leather, perfume of cranberries, cinnamon, and baking spices that might pair well with baked lamb.

Pretty, ruby/magenta color.

Pleasant, welcoming mouthfeel. Soft, well balanced structure. Subtle rosewater sweetness, leathered tannins, and the viscosity of an orange blossom saffron syrup that would top kanafeh, one of my favorite desserts.

Surprisingly kind of elegant. Kind of.

Bruised raspberries, bread, a bit of meat and smoky finish, light in body but nice acids balance the heavier flavors.
