This is a clear medium ruby wine.
The nose is clean with medium (+) intensity. Aromas of red fruit (cranberry raspberry) and coffee.
The palate is dry is medium (-) acid and medium alcohol. The tannins are medium (-) and quite soft. With medium (-) intensity, flavours of red cherry, coffee, cranberry and a distinct smokiness. The body is medium (+) with a medium finish.
This is a good wine with promise in the nose which does not quite translate to the palate. But it's enjoyable and easy drinking.

Plenty with spices and dried fruit, pepper, raisin and prunes as well as some black currant. Instant coffee on the palate, apple pie and soft notes of cloves and allspice. The finish is medium in length with coffee, bitter dark chocolate and burned sugar. I really like this one!

Great mocha and coffee aromas. Obvious oak, but relatively light body. Easy-drinking.

Heavy coffee, smoke and bacon fat on the nose and palate. Slight oak backbone. Medium body, chewy tannins. Clearly young and a bit synthetic tasting. Finish is surprisingly nice with a rich mocha/fresh ground coffee vibe. I can see how some people would love this.

Mar 15th, 2016I was a little nervous about the mocha and coffee bean elements, but they weren't overpowering. A smooth drinkable wine.
