Unbelievably smooth & easy drinking. Only slight wish was just a little more flavor. That being said, best bottle of wine I've ever had included with a meal. Plus the 3 course meal was only $16 Euro!!!

Elegant red from a great vintage. Dried red fruits wrapped in a lovely oak finish.

Doesn't last long, woody, no fruits, not as dry as expected but all in all quite nice.

Delicious full oaky red, dark dried fruits in a lush vanilla background, could age as it has a nice structure of tannins.
