• Overall I thought this wine was not that interesting, pretty much just a boring wine. This bland flavor was reinforced by classic tastes of an old school wine such as earthy flavors like clay. This wine had a weak taste of cherry as well that did not improve or worsen the mineral taste. It is like the winemaker just wanted to add another flavor at the last minute to try and enhance the simple flavors. The bouquet was just as dissatifying as the taste; again it was not bad but it was nothing special.
• I did not have this wine with any food
