3.5/5

Just drunk. Nothing to say, wine perfect with no defects.
Not worth the cost, however. Absolutely not good value for money. With that money you can buy other wines. Price is right for me 60 euro.

Red wine with reddish brown edges. Strong smell of violets, it seemed odd. Bitter end. Did not seem well with fish, I would have preferred a vegetable stew.

I tried it in a bar.
