2013 vintage.Fruity and easy-going with high acidity that seems a bit unbalanced (wonder if this wine was acidified?).Clean and well-made but gives me the impression of a very technical wine that lacks soul. Rather expensive at 15 euro.

Ignites on the tongue; spicy with some bell pepper earthiness underlining a new world fruit basket. Wouldn't choose it. Wouldn't throw it away.

May 14th, 2019Dark beet juice color, tobacco and cedar, pretty tannic at this point but will mellow nicely with age.
