Clear deep purple and medium bodied with light tannins and high acid. Clean, low intensity nose with blackcurrant notes. Black currant, leather, warm spice and a hint of barnyard funk notes on the palate leading to a smooth medium length and slightly sour finish. Tasty, interesting wine and good value for money.

Fun, intriguing, and extroverted, yet structured and pleasantly serious. Just the kind of man I'm looking for!

Over ripe black cherries and blueberry candy? Candied violets that are rotting...but in the best possible way? Yep this wine is an enigma, and really fun. Order it, if you can find it.

Simple, easy, and grapey. With time, notes of licorice, baking spice, and crushed violets show up.

Nice lunch time quaffing. Soft, powdery tannins and chalky cherries. Wish it had more acidic lift.

Really tasty (!) but wish it were a touch less concentrated and effusive.
