Date Tasted: 5/2020

It certainly needs food.

Appearance: Pale garnet colour. 

Nose: Medium aromatic intensity with overcooked red fruits mostly, raspberry, sour cherry and tomato. 

Palate: The tomato notes continue with graphite and game with medium acidity and medium body. It is flabby with harsh tannins and a short aftertaste. 

It tastes better when combined with food. 

Drink: It surely needs ageing, but I do not recommend it. 

Food Pairing: It paired well with meatballs in tomato sauce.
