Deep glass-clinging purple. Nose of black raspberry and menthol. Firm tannins on the palate of black raspberry, black tea, and light menthol. More New World in style than Cahors -- which makes sense as Osmin actually makes one -- but by no means an Argentinian clone. Definitely needs food: served Swedish meatballs well.

Stainless steel. Nice acid. Not Cahors. Funky and wine geeky.

Smooth. A bit light. The review I read that said you need to pair with food is correct.

Vintage 2016 is a seductive siren to the palette, drawing me to pour another glass! 😉

Agree with one of the previous comments. I found the 2015 bland.

I didn't add it to my "buy more" list.

Excellent for the middle of the week with dinner and you can't argue against it for the price. Acidic, dry, and I picked up some smoke and earthiness. Menthol hints a well. Do not let it sit in the glass long, as the sharpness is reduced greatly even after five minutes.
