Agreeable carbonic-y Bojo that does not offend, but also does not offer a lot of Morgon, either.

Fresh & cool with dark fruit, a pinch of spices (cloves, allspice) plus a rocky, stony, earthy undertone. Very inviting.
On the palate this is polished yet fresh. On the fruitier side with blackberry & blueberry, a hint of black sour cherry. Fruity yet savoury & cool. Brilliant fresh acidity, firm yet juicy tannins - nice frame.
Good length, excellent drinkability, so food friendly.
No bubble gum, no flat, characterless plonk.
Great stuff!

Wow, easy drinking but very complex for an inexpensive wine!

Like that hard, sweet — but not too sweet — berry candy, that came in a tin, that I had when I was a kid. Textured, shaped like the berries themselves. Can't remember the name.

Interesting how time and place can affect a taste. Not very pleasurable this time around.
