Tasting:

Appearance: Lovely dark red, so dark and rich that little light shows through when held up to a lamp.

Aroma: As I let the wine air on the table next to my recliner, I occasionally caught a whaff of its bouquet. When held to the nose, I detected notes of fruit/berry.

Taste / Texture: A very, very dry wine. There are notes of berry. The body is slightly thin. I can also detect the pepper note.

Aftertaste: A rather fast finish compared to other wines that I've had. The aftertaste is pleasant.

Decision: 80/100. Pleasant red wine. The dry factor overwhelms the taste. I feel that even a 0.3% RS would make a huge difference in the palatability of this wine. I certainly wouldn't turn down a glass of it, but it's not among the best reds that I've had.
