Smooth and full of berry, marzipan and Christmas spice aromas. Comes on strong as it opens, revealing blueberry and black cherry flavors. Quite fresh and snappy, but with ample heft. A fine everyday red with guts.

Green on the nose, with hints of beet and tomato. Quite snappy on the tongue, with acid-based cherry and raspberry flavors mixed with some green. Not caustic, but verging on astringent. Imported by S&F Trading Company.

Blunt and clumsy, with a slight vegetal streak to the chunky nose. The flavor profile is sweet and candied, while the finish hits with a wave of applesauce and peach flavors. Hangs rather heavily on the palate.

A lot of open-cut wood on the nose, which results in aggressive citrus notes along with hard blasts of oak shavings. The mouth is gritty and firm, with jumpy cherry and raspberry flavors. Quite tannic; not a lot of love here. Imported by S&F Trading Company.
