15.5/20 (87/100)

Черные ягоды, черника, черемуха, немного сдобы, сладковатый интенсивный вкус при достаточно легком теле, высокой кислотности, немного травянисто-цветочных оттенков.

Clear ruby red in the glass with purplish magenta highlights. Full nose of leathery cherries and vanilla violets. Full-bodied palate of stewed black cherries and black leather with a hint of vanilla creme. Upper-moderate acidity and a lingering dark-ish finish.

I had the 2018 which was also good. Smooth and easy to drink. I am no expert, but I thought it was fruity, but not complex. Definitely worth the money.

This is a well balanced wine. Strongly recommend to have with a meal. Feels heavy if drunk on its own without any food.
