Reviews and Ratings

Julia Kelada rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Let's first start by saying that this is a good value wine for the money. It definitely has character and is a versatile wine. It is however like a chamillion. I tried it after an hour of opening it and then four hours after that and the tastes were very, very different . I would there fore suggest that you open it and really let it breath as the taste 4 hours later was truly delicious.

On the nose there was vanilla, red fruits and leather.

On the palate, after 4 hours!!!! There were fresh cherries, plums and black currants. A refreshing mineral energy stepped forward after that , green tobacco leaves and truffles. A herby thyme note briefly stepped forward before a delicious chocolate introduction. The wine wraps up by producing a spicey punch of black pepper. Good length tannins leave you with a medium bodied silky mouth.

Bottoms up!
