Nose: Pretty fruity. Little bit of oakiness, but mostly fruit.
Taste: Black currents, kind of a medium red with some sweetness.
Finish: Very little tannins - pretty unremarkable.
What we say: V - "It's certainly not unpleasant on the nose, but almost a bit syrupy." S - "There's something here, not necessarily sweet. Caramel? There's something to it - a sort of thickness you'd get from chocolate or caramel - but it's not caramel." "It's not bad as a very simple wine." V - "I agree, it doesn't do much, but it's drinkable." S - "It's very middle of the road. It's not absent flavour, but it's not particularly exciting." V - "This is the wine that a 5 was made for."
What they say: Supple and smooth with natural fruit flavours.
