Taste: Very smooth, with some berry-like properties, but relatively light overall. Spicy?
Finish: Has a bit of a buzziness at the end, maybe pepper. Almost semi-sweet, with moderate tannins.
What we say: V - 'The nose is really unusual.' S - 'Is there pepper in the nose? I don't know - I could just be making this up. There has to be something other than oak right? I mean, at the end of the day it's based on grapes...' 'Even thought I can't really pinpoint many of the flavours, it's still really nice - quite subtle, perhaps. Like the quiet one in the room. Still waters run deep. Something about books and covers.' 'It's not like explosions in your mouth, but it's very good - I like it in its simplicity.' 'A decent wine to bring to someone if you don't know their preferences (unless they're wine snobs)'
What they say: Medium body that combines red fruit characters with pleasant spiciness.
