I drank it with my best friend.
Red ruby colour with reddish brown edges. The smell of violets was so strong that it seemed curious to me. Predominating aromas of red fruits.
Better pair it with vegetables.

Cherry red, clean colour. Combination of red fruit aromas and green pepper. According to my personal opinion, it was quite flat on the palate.
Good wine, but I would not have taken it with fish.
