Second encounter and I can't describe this as anything but a Sunday evening wine. Ok it's 15 abv. But there are lots of blackberry and spices on the nose and a milky thing too which happens all the way through the end of the finish too. Good acid backbone but XXL width and thickness, there is weight in there. Radiant blackberry jam all around and that milky mouthfeel. No real tannins to speak of and a super long blackberry, milky finish. In an easy going, in your face style that I can enjoy on Sunday evenings

Jul 12th, 2020Caramel, blackberry, cherry. It's an inviting, fruity, generous nose. The palate offers an interesting design with some strong avid drive and a round thing, a ball of red fruits that turns around it in a crazy pagan dance. No tannins but a sweet layer with caramel on top of a fruity finish, which stays for a while on the fruity, slightly tanguy note (conviniently the caramel note fades away rather quickly). It's not great but it's well done and gives somehow instant pleasure out of the bottle. Should it be any different?
