A very intriguing wine, in a good way. The nose is so fresh and vibrant, I could linger all day. Fresh, ripe cranberry, pomegranate, and strawberry on the nose with a whif of vegetal asparagus as it opens with time.. A raspberry strawberry tart on the palate with a soft finish and enough vibrancy to beg for another sip - a very nice value for the money.. The nose is easily the most intriguing part.

Stewed fig, raspberry and a little on the tawny side. Could use more acid in the finish. Good value wine.

Lovely fig nose with raspberry and tart pomegranate in the mouth. Finishes with stewed fig and clove. Excellent value wine with lots of character.
