An old fave: concentrated black fruits and spice with an inky finish. Crazy but it worked with Chinese food

Old favorite and delicious. Dusty red plums, licorice, ferric soil, spiced wood, old tobacco. Italian tannin but approachable, solid length.

I agree with the pack - concentrated black fruits, inky, earthy, old world barn yard funk. Super dry and structured with a tight finish. Definitely recommend.

So delicious! Earthy, dense black fruits, and a slightly bell peppery pyrazine (sp?) character.

Sommarprat och detta vin. Lite röda vinbär, lite läder, nöt, honung. Kanske kaffe och salmiak. Välbalanserat, krämigt. Precis lagom strävt.

Cherries, licorice, smoky but surprisingly light.
