Written Notes
Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is ruby red and medium. On the nose it is youthful, fresh, pure and forward. The taste is fresh, fruity, fragrant, and dry, and average in acidity, light, youthful and the palate is one-dimensional. On the palate it is layered and has herbs, mint, pepper, floral, violet, raspberry, blueberry and blackberry flavours. The finish is short and spicy. This wine is a good every wine. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 1-5 years and decant at least 15min before tasting.
