I'm quite fond of this wine. True, it doesn't boast complexity, but drinking it is an absolute delight. It offers a charming bouquet, brimming with notes of raspberries, the essence of an autumn forest floor, spices, and red flowers. Its roundness and juiciness are what I especially enjoy, embodying the essence of a delicate, non-extractive glou-glou style. However, the pricing leaves much to be desired, feeling unjustifiably high for what it offers.
This wine features an aromatic and slightly floral bouquet, with nuances of red fruits – some dried – red flowers, spices, barberry candy, and notes of a damp forest floor. It's juicy with moderate acidity, offering a round and prolonged aftertaste. Delicious, with a hint of bitterness in the finish. Despite its rating, it stands out as my second favourite wine of the night.
