Winery Review: With
a ruby red color and with intense purplish reflections it has a nose of red
fruits like cherry, raspberry, and blackberry, to spices like marjoram, rhubarb
and white pepper. On the palate it is pleasantly fresh, not too heavy, with sweet
tannins and with soft herbaceous notes, which are the traditional
characteristics of the Cabernet-Franc.
My Review: This wine has a strong aroma that reminds me of leather. It seems very herbal at the same time. There are some slight tannins in the wine, with a strange hint of bitterness. It tastes very earthy, with maybe some cherry elements, however the earthiness is very overpowering. It is light bodied and smooth.
I tasted this wine without food.
