Taste: Somewhat tart and light, although we were eating some strong cheeses at the time. Definitely smooth. Lighter than expected with definite red berries.
Finish: Bloom of tannins in the finish, but not really overpowering.
What we say: V - "The nose is berries all over the place." S - "What is that taste? We've had it before. Is it berries?" "Yeah, it's like a flower blooming with the tannins. Not like a firecracker, which is all like 'boom,' but a gradual pffffffssh.' 'It's a good wine, but nothing spectacular - it's not particularly complex.' 'Did they say leather? Is there horse? "Oh no, not the wine too!!"' L - 'It stings your nostrils a little bit.' V - 'It's ok, kind of watery in the finish.'
What they say: Bursting with dark fruits, black cherry, plum and blackberries, with savoury notes of leather and black peppercorn slowly emerging with a hint of liquorice.
Rating: 6.3 (S - 5; V - 6; L - 8)
