Notes:
This pale red, semi
translucent wine is a good example on how a table wine can be very decent for
daily drinking without spending a fortune.
Uniform red ligh color, shows
its age, or actually lack of it.
Very light nose, full of
flowers, red berries and fresh cherries.
On the mouth this wine feels
rather light, however it brings an explosion of alcohol at the end, without
being too much. Light strawberries and a touch of cherries, with a soft palate
and long finish that would benefit from less alcohol.
I think this wine would
benefit from keeping it another one or two years before drinking. However is
very pleasant for easy everyday drink.
Paired with blue cheese, this
wine is a totally different animal, becoming much more powerful and enhancing
the flavours of the cheese. It also develops flavors of dark fruits with a hint
of liquorice
