Visual Review
With a deep, almost impenetrable ruby hue, it sits in the glass like a wine that means business. Little translucency here, this one is rich, intense, and exactly the color you’d expect from a bold red.
Aroma Review
There’s a pronounced aroma intensity, but it plays it cool, nothing too over-the-top. A mix of jam, vanilla, and cooked black fruits drifts up, setting the stage for a promising sip. The nose quality is good, and while the aroma characteristics lean towards the moderate side, they work together harmoniously, giving off an inviting warmth.
Taste Review
The taste doesn’t punch you in the face, nor does it leave you wondering where it went, it finds a comfortable middle ground. Medium acidity, medium body, medium alcohol… you see where this is going. Even the tannins are on the lighter side, making it a smoother ride than some might expect from a Cabernet Sauvignon. The dryness is well-integrated, and while it doesn’t deliver fireworks in terms of complexity, it’s distinct enough to hold your interest. The finish is moderate, just enough to leave a lasting impression without overstaying its welcome.
Overall, the experience is ok. While it doesn’t quite reach the upper echelons of greatness, it’s an acceptable wine that does its job well, but the quality does not justify its price unfortunately.
