A deeper Zin. Some pruned plum flavors up front.

The first phase of the taste is ok, nice but then it fades away like a wine from way cheaper category. Ok wine but the 18euro price bracket seems a little too much for this. The next 20€ I will use on something else. Product from Alko/Finnish tax hell

Color of dark ruby, quite clear. Nose of oaky barrel, sweet plums, cedar wood, peach, strawberries, and anise. Sweet and pleasant nose. Taste of bright acidity and sweetness, spice like oregano, low tannins, cherries, bbq hickory note, and a bit of zest. A sweet bomb indeed. Aftertaste of peach, spice, grapefruit zest, lingering sweetness, and herb notes. Very well made. A bit too sweet for me, but an awesome wine indeed.

Big oak notes. Almost whiskey oak. Deep. Dark. Strong tannin. Love it. Great deal at $10.
