Not well balanced, not much tannin to balance out the sweetness. Almost too rich like cake

Kinda boring. Way too sweet and not a lot of upside.

Bright vermillion color.
Scents of mature fruits light up rich tannins. Structured deep fruits coat the palate in harmony with rich cocoa and loam.

Paired with shrimp scampi fettuccini.

A little piggy on the nose, then nice ripe fruits on the palate. Not challenging, but not bland. Nice middle of the road wine.

Medium body, ripe figs, leather palette, earthy sense to it.
