"Aromas of blackcurrants, currant leaves, chocolate, tobacco and a touch of mushroom. It has medium body and fine tannins. Easy, fruit-driven red with a savory finish. Fresh and juicy. Merlot and cabernet sauvignon. Drink now."

"Black-fruit, cassis, tar, walnut-husk and raw-cocoa aromas. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, powdery tannins. Chewy layers of dark fruit and wood spice. Try from 2022."

"Beautiful deep ruby color. Pleasant fruity nose with discreet woody and licorice notes. On the palate, a frank attack, a wine both structured and melted. We like the finish that combines power, freshness and expression. Ideal with red meat. "
"An attractive nose of oak overlaying seductive dark red fruits with hints of blackcurrant leads into a complex palate with silky tannins. Soft, earthy flavours of dark cherry and currant matches silky tannins to finish."
